That, my friends, just won't do!!
So here they are.

Broken and Beautiful
Calee Reed and Aaron Edson
When the light shines through me
All the broken pieces
Reflect His light
It's a beautiful sight
All the scars and spaces
Where the battles hurt me
Let more light in
Flood me with Him
You may see
Flaws in me
I'm not perfect
But I was never meant to be
Keep your view
of your perfect world
I was never meant to be that girl...
Broken
And I am beautiful
He'll use each piece
To make a masterpiece
From the ashes
He's creating me
I'm broken
Broken and beautiful
Every shade and color
All fit together
Each break designed
With me in mind
Every brilliant facet
Tells a different story
In every broken dream
His love is seen
Keep your view
of your perfect world
I was never meant to be that girl...
Broken
And I am beautiful
He'll use each piece
To make a masterpiece
From the ashes
He's creating me
I'm broken
Broken and beautiful
I'll give Him what's left of my shattered heart
He'll piece it together brand new
And each empty space that was damaged and dark
Will light up with His love and truth
Yes, that's what His healing can do...
Broken and I am beautiful
He'll use each piece
To make a masterpiece
From the ashes
He's creating me
I'm broken
Broken and beautiful
I wrote this song with Aaron Edson - the same person who produced The Waiting Place. Besides being fabulously talented, he's been through his fair share of difficulties...and I knew that sitting down with him to write a song about brokenness would yield something great.
We played around with several ideas - but kept coming back to brokenness being a beautiful thing. Stained glass was a big part of that conversation - the facets and colors and each piece of glass contributing something different and beautiful to the piece as a whole. In my mind, I could see myself sitting in a sacred space...a church, maybe...with light streaming through beautiful pieces of stained glass all around me. That mental image transformed into ME being the glass...and Christ's light streaming through all of my brokenness to reveal something glorious and whole. Not broken at all.
As a person who has spent a decent amount of time feeling broken over the last decade, the idea that God's love and plan could ultimately make a masterpiece of all of my chipped pieces and emtpy spaces feels a little unreachable sometimes. I truly believe, though, that none of us were ever MEANT to get through this life without breaking at least a little. We are MEANT to be molded, changed...and if it takes breaking to get to the place where God can create something different - more, better - out of us, then so be it.
I'm sure most of you have seen the reference to kintsugi in the music video already, but in case you haven't:
kintsugi: (Noun) To repair with gold; The art of repairing metal with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.
As I discussed the treatment for the music video with my Deseret Book team, the parallel between kintsugi and Christ's atonement (being the gold that fills all of our brokenness and holds us together) was so powerful that we couldn't see any better way to illustrate the message behind the song.
I am so grateful for all of the artistic, wonderful people who helped create the song and video...from beginning to end it was truly a labor of love.
To all of my friends who are out there spending this season of your life feeling broken...consider for a moment that maybe God hasn't abandoned you. His intention isn't to leave you as a pile of rubble and broken dreams. He is CREATING you from the ashes. He has a plan. Work hard to understand what that plan is. Be patient as He shows you where the pieces go. Believe that He loves you enough to turn all of your messes into a masterpiece. And if you forget and feel discouraged? I wrote this song to help you remember :)
xo.

I love that song! Calee you are awesome! I've always loved church music. After high school I would hear a Contemporary Christian Rock station on the radio while my teacher at school drove me to work. I was attending a school for young adults with special needs and I just graduated that school in May. We just did on the job training in the community. By the time I graduated that station had become my favorite one to listen to on the radio. After I found your music I heard some of your music from your debut album. It's pretty good and I later found the album you released three years later, What Heaven Feels Like. I have that one on my phone now and I also have your 2018 album Believer. I love your music! It's so inspiring and uplifting

This song really touched me today. Heard it through an LDS radio on Google Play. I've recently pretended like everything in my life has been roses and daisies (generally an optimist). I was reflecting this morning on how everything isn't as great as I've pretended. I've been divorced from a 6 year marriage for 3 years now, but time seems to be flitting away as I'm not sure how to realize my dream of having a family. Covid dried up my income streams quickly leaving me with $25,000 of business debt that I'm now trying to dig my way out of. I've never felt like I had a strong relationship with my savior and for the first time in a long time, actually felt utterly broken inside. This song made me feel things that I needed in order to strengthen my relationship with God. I have a long way to go, but I definitely felt something...? Or if not something, just accepting things and actually full out balling/crying is somewhat healing. I thank you for the work and heart you've put into this and sharing yourself with the world. Thank you, thank you! Coincidences are a funny thing, hearing your song after feeling broken inside.
I completely trusted Dr Paul totally from the time I spoke with him during the period my husband Left me after11 years of our marriage, He started the spell work on my husband, and gave me so much assurance and guaranteed me that he was going to bring my husband back to my feet in just 48 hours of the spell casting. I was so confident in his work and just as he said in the beginning, my husband is finally back to me again, yes he is back with all his hearts, Love, care, emotions and flowers and things are better now. I would have no hesitation to recommend this powerful spell caster to anybody who is in need of help.. E-mail; astoriashrine @ gmail com
Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542
