Restoring the Image

An apple cast
shattered the mirror
We reflect now
Your image in fragments

We fumble with bloody fingers
helpless to restore
And straining to see
Taking the pieces for the whole

Restore your image, Lord
We want to see you clearly
Make us the reflection once again
Make new the looking glass once shattered

Through a glass darkly
We long for the day
When the Perfect One comes
and the imperfect will pass away

You are greater than
our fractured lens can see
You are more magnificent
Than our dim light illumes

Restore your image, Lord
We want to see you clearly
Make us the reflection once again
Make new the looking glass once shattered.
