Forged in the Crucible
What things attack my standards
What things attack my stability
What are those things that sting so viciously
the ones that pierce to marrow deeper than bone
The ones that unbeknownst I've known
find ways to keep destroying me
what utter deeds beset my feet
my soul cries boldly but silently
I hang my head for its too much too deep
the years the tears cannot rebuff
and yet a purpose interrupts
I get a glimpse of both of us
Though disappointment constantly
a part of my inheritance
but learned that those who disappoint
were merely divine design to hollow out
to chip and mould and knock off stuff
the dross does rise when heated up
the smelt the smell of flesh corrupt
what crucible entangled me
it was my future now plain to see
I give praise now to all those "things"
who once considered unredeemed
they were the tools the Most High used
creating me as beautiful
to stand an witness frail but brave
the Potter's hand did well engrave
and now I love all those who from past
from here on out to ever last
no now the stings I see were meant
to build in me immoveable
I have the holes the bell is round
but beautiful is now the sound
the groans and aches now melody
see what has become of me
metamorphosed to usefulness
play Master play
at Your behest
