[Verse 1]
Shattered glass can’t tell me who I am,
Whispers of the world like shifting sand.
Through the cracks of failure, shame, and lies,
A distorted face—is this my life ?
But Your Word is perfect, pure, and bright,
Piercing through the shadows with Your light.
Every scar, every stain, You redefine—
In Your love, the fractured starts to shine.
[Chorus]
Word of Truth, show me what You see :
A reflection of Heaven’s design in me.
No longer bound by the marks of time,
I am Yours, and You call me “divine.”
Word of Truth, break the chains undone,
I am who You say—beloved, righteous, enough.
Face to face with the love I’ve dreamed of—
In Your eyes, I see forever’s love.
[Verse 2]
Ancient bronze could never tell the tale,
Of a heart reborn when grace prevails.
Your voice speaks mercy over all my flaws,
Now Your image blooms where doubt once clawed.
Through the haze, I glimpse eternity,
Not the “me” I was, but who I’m called to be.
Wrapped in robes no thread of earth could weave—
Christ in me, and I in Him, believe.
[Bridge]
For to be a saint is to stand revealed—
Not a shadow, but a life made healed !
Every wound now a canvas for Your art,
Every cry met with “Child, you are My heart.”
Step from the darkness, let the old depart—
This is the day You resurrect my start !
[Outro]
I am who You say I am…
I am who You say I am…
The song works a single image: a broken mirror. "Shattered glass can't tell me who I am." The distorted reflection is the false self built from failure, shame, and lies. Against it stands God's word, which "redefines" every scar.
"Ancient bronze could never tell the tale" points to old mirrors of polished metal, which gave a dim and imperfect image — the mirror of 1 Corinthians 13:12. The song contrasts that blurred reflection with what God sees: "a reflection of Heaven's design in me." The image of God, marred but not erased, is restored in Christ.
The bridge redefines sainthood. "To be a saint is to stand revealed, not a shadow, but a life made healed." A saint is not a moral hero but a person shown as they truly are in Christ. Every believer is called a saint in the New Testament (Romans 1:7).
"Every wound now a canvas for Your art" treats the scars as the place grace becomes visible, not as things to hide. "Christ in me, and I in Him" is the mutual union of John 15.
We sing this to see ourselves in God's word rather than in the broken glass.
