[Intro – clean arpeggio, whispered]
I built glass altars…
to my pain…
[Verse 1]
I built glass altars to my pain,
every fracture a testament.
Stacked the pieces like a throne,
crowned myself with discontent.
I bowed to every jagged edge,
let the bleeding be my hymn.
But Your whisper split the silence—
“Child, let the healing in.”
[Pre-Chorus – building]
I tried to hide the cracks,
but You said, “Let the light come through.”
[Chorus]
I’m falling on my knees again,
where mercy meets the mess I’m in.
Glass altars turn to solid ground
the moment that Your love is found.
Every scar becomes a window,
every wound a sacred sign—
I’m not the ruin, I’m the temple
You’re rebuilding line by line.
[Verse 2]
I traced the veins of every break,
felt the cold beneath my skin.
Each reflection screamed my shame,
every echo pulled me in.
I was architect of ashes,
blueprint of the fall—
then Your hands rewrote the story,
turned my nothing into all.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – heavier]
I tried to sweep the shards away,
You said, “Leave them where they lie.”
[Chorus – fuller]
I’m falling on my knees again,
where mercy meets the mess I’m in.
Glass altars turn to solid ground
the moment that Your love is found.
Every scar becomes a window,
every wound a sacred sign—
I’m not the ruin, I’m the temple
You’re rebuilding line by line.
[Bridge 1 – clean, spoken over soft chords]
I won’t hide the cracks—
they let the light bleed through.
I won’t fake the wholeness—
You never asked me to.
[Bridge 2 – half-time, clean to scream]
SHOW ME WHERE THE FRACTURES ARE!
(Let the glory flood the dark!)
EVERY SPLINTER IS A STAR!
(Shining where the healing starts!)
I’M NOT ASHAMED OF WHAT I’VE BEEN—
THE BROKEN IS WHERE YOU BEGIN!
[Instrumental Drop – 8 bars, detuned chugs]
[Verse 3 – lower, intimate]
I laid the final piece in place,
watched it crumble at Your feet.
You didn’t scold, You didn’t leave—
You knelt and kissed the debris.
Now every edge is softened,
every cut a work of art.
The altar isn’t glass anymore—
it’s beating in my heart.
[Final Pre-Chorus – whisper to roar]
I used to fear the falling…
now I live to hit the floor.
[Final Chorus – gang vocals, massive]
I’m falling on my knees again!
Where mercy meets the mess I’m in!
Glass altars turn to solid ground
the moment that Your love is found!
Every scar becomes a window!
Every wound a sacred sign!
I’m not the ruin, I’m the temple—
You’re rebuilding line by line!
[Outro – layered, fading]
I won’t hide the cracks…
they let the light bleed through…
I won’t hide the cracks…
they let Your light bleed through…
