I was a hard-wired screw up
Given righteousness in lieu of
The punishment that was due
I got a one way ticket to true love
Redeemed and blood-bought
From the stain of my offenses
Imputed with Christ’s perfection -
Propitiation for the defenseless
I was shown relentless grace
In the pursuit of my own glory
Went from being a vessel of wrath
To an instrument of his mercy
Trying to live out my dash
Was only coming up ashes
I was a masterpiece in the making
The magnum opus of a disaster
By the design of the Refiner
That was the day the fire started
Ignited in my bones
‘Til all impurity has departed
Old ways aborted
And old habits tend to die hard
But what’s left amidst the flame
Will be incorruptible and unharmed
"...so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 1:7
Soli Deo Gloria,
Shon
