Something brighter than gold
My favourite bracelet broke today Hand crafted near the coasts of Spain By an old man whose name was probably Jose
My favourite bracelet broke today Wore it on my wrists proudly with its loose ends frayed Infused with memories of liquid sunshine that always stayed By the shores of Spain
My favourite bracelet broke today Was He teaching me a lesson? That things of this world always fade away And even my favourite bracelet will one day make its way To that drawer in my jewellery box that never sees the light of day
I want to wear Your spirit proudly on my sleeve I want to feel Your presence I want to be a good person
But I can’t stop thinking about my broken bracelet With its frayed ends and its bright colours I’m screaming, I’m shouting, I’m begging For You to fix it again
I haven’t thought about my favourite bracelet since that day It hasn’t even crossed my mind You’ve given me something better Something brighter than gold, something no one can define
And if I only knew the day my favourite bracelet broke That You had something bigger than I imagined, something that was true Maybe I wouldn’t have worried And remembered that my faith is in You
