Like a piece of refuse in the rubble

No one pasing by would take the trouble

To look a little deeper and to ralize

But I was something special in His eyes

He removed the dents where I was broken and bent

Polished and perfected me

So His reflection He could see!

And then he had an empty siver cup

Ready and willing to be filled up

With living water flowing from the Father

So others could drink of me

And savor life abundantly

So as to be poured out- that's what I am about

Since I have been restored by my Lord!

Like a Hidden treasure I was found

Like a battered, crushed cup on the ground

He saw something that others could not see

He saw what it was that I could be!

He removed the dents where I was broken and bent

Polished and perfected me

So His reflection He could see!

And then he had an empty siver cup

Ready and willing to be filled up

With living water flowing from the Father

So others could drink of me

And savor life abundantly

So as to be poured out- that's what I am about

Since I have been restored by my Lord!

Crisis time- I was contemplating seminary and about to embark on a journey of trust.
