Broken Beyond Recognition
Isaiah 64:8—But now, O LORD, thou are our father we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand
I am a mountain, strong and tall
I am majestic, I look down on all
The ground beneath me began to shake, I was shattered into pieces
I am not the same
I am a boulder, broad and wide
Others marvel at me, I beam with pride
The bull dozers came and knocked me around, I was shattered into pieces
I am not the same
I am a rock, still solid but small
I am used to hurt others, I enjoy it before long
The storms came, they blew me ---------, I was broken into pieces
I am not the same
I am a pebble, small but sure
I am used in child’s play, I am smooth, I am frail
The winds lift me and carry me far away, I was broken still more
I am not the same
I am sand, tiny at best
I comfort tired worn feet, I hold heat for those who need rest
I am crushed and ground even more, no strength have I of my own
I am not the same
I am dust, of the earth
Everywhere and nowhere is where I lay
The Master has more need of me, He uses me in His clay
I am not the same, but something much greater than before
I have surrendered to His will for my life
I am not the same, I am Broken Beyond Recognition
God bless,
Pamyla
