Repairing the Broken

From An Elementary School Teacher..

He came to my desk with a quivering lip,
The lesson was done.
Have you a new sheet for me dear teacher,
I've spoiled this one.


I took his sheet all soiled and blotted,
Gave him a new one all unspotted.
And into his tired heart I cried,
Do better now, my child.


I went to the throne with a trembling heart,
The day was done.
Have you a new day for me dear Master,
I've spoiled this one.

He took my day all soiled and blotted,
Gave me a new one all unspotted.
And into my tired heart He cried,
Do better now, My child.

A new day, a new beginning. Ask anyone who's gone wrong,
you'll know what a thrill it is to be told you're forgiven.


via Ravi Zacharias
