PRAISE TO THE ARTIST
Shedding cumbersome skin
Promoted from sleazy selfish serpent
To loving child of God
Ripped away
Mask of indignation
That blinded me for so long
Yahweh spares no intensity
As His appointed children are reborn
Hard lessons
Blatant reality
Produces remorseful shame
Churning in vomits vortex
Overwhelming urge to cleanse
Expectorate filthy contents
Reduced to bite size chunks
Within my transformed soul
Powerful guiding hands of The Master
Deftly shapes my potters clay mind
Aching to share this masterpiece
Created beauty
Praise to the Artist
In Thanksgiving
For my new cherished role
His Servant
Innocent astonishment
How a broken man like me
Could be so precious to Him
Not worthy of these wonderful gifts
But eternally grateful
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”
2 Corinthians 10:5
