Kintsukuroi Master Refiner

 

Broken.  Shattered, in fact.
One feels SO of no use.
But, our souls can be put back!
Oh, how this is good news!

The Master refiner of gold
Picks up the pieces, the shards
And makes beauty out of the old
Us, He never ever discards

Transformed out of our pain
There's awe in what we've been through
See now what was once plain?
Wow!  What His atonement can do!

The widow the childless

The sick the infirm

Kintsukuroi, the gold in us

In trials, 

refined

becomes pure

[Verse 1] Broken. Shattered, in fact. One feels so of no use. But our souls can be put back. Oh, how this is good news! [Pre-Chorus] The Master refiner of gold Picks up the pieces The shards And makes beauty out of the old Us, He never ever discards [Chorus] Kintsukuroi gold Kintsukuroi gold In trials, refined We become pure [Verse 2] Transformed out of our pain There's awe in what we've been through See now what was once plain? Wow! What His atonement can do! [Pre-Chorus] The widow, the childless The sick, the infirm He gathers the broken And holds every hurt What the world called ruined He calls made new [Chorus] Kintsukuroi gold Kintsukuroi gold In trials, refined We become pure [Bridge] Pieces in His hands Never lost, never gone Ash to beauty now We are held, we are strong The old made radiant The scar turned bright He takes the fractured heart And brings it back to life [Chorus] Kintsukuroi gold Kintsukuroi gold In trials, refined We become pure

;The belief of kintsukuroi is that the piece is more beautiful for being broken. This is a great metaphor for our lives. In the Bible, Job declares his belief that when his trials are over, he “shall come forth as gold.”https://www.ldsdaily.com/personal-lds-blog/this-beautiful-japanese-technique-of-fixing-pottery-teaches-us-gospel-truth/
