He Chose My Brokenness

He chose
my brokenness
to make me whole.
He chose
my sorrow
to give me joy.
He chose
my sinfulness
to pay the price
so I could be forgiven.
He chose me
to be
an object
of his love,
a member
of his family.

So great
his love!
So great
his gift!

He lives
to give
himself
to live
within me,
to live
and love
through me
that others
may know
his love
and life.
