Only You

Only You would take bare wire and twist it into glacial art; Only You could shine Your rays and melt the hardest selfish heart. Only love could add this sheen and sculpt a work of vivid hue; Only grace could dazzle me so I would worship only You.

Only You would take bare wire

and twist it into glacial art;

Only You could shine Your rays

and melt the hardest selfish heart.

Only love could add this sheen

and sculpt a work of vivid hue;

Only grace could dazzle me

so I would worship only You.

    I can see us like the snowy beauty that in his love melts away in all his light.

    This is a stunning picture. I would love to have it framed in my room to remind me that our Lord is always working behind the scenes melting the coldest times of adversity with his love and grace while he works behind the scenes on our behalf. Your poem was brillant and it teaches another timeless truth that we should never give up on people but wait patiently for the Lord to work on their hearts and change them from the inside out. We are all God’s ever changing works of art

      Absolutely! How things would change if we were to treat each person we met each day as a work of art in progress… Thanks for those wise words.

    My feelings exactly! Great poem and picture.

      Wow – you went on a reading spree today, didn’t you? Thanks for your cheerful presence here! 🙂

      1. Symanntha Renn

        No one knows yet, but I have gone back to college. I can’t read blogs as they post, I have to pick a day, like Sunday and get caught up. I have homework to do the rest of the week. Some blogs I only read once a month.

      2. melodylowes

        Wow – what classes are you taking?

  8. Symanntha Renn

    I was just doing 1 History class, to see what I could handle, it is going great. I am adding a short Theatre class next week. I have to do it all online for the first 2 years so I have to really focus to get things done.

    1. melodylowes

      Good for you – takes a lot of self-control to work on your won like that!

      1. Symanntha Renn

        I am having to limit my time spent reading other books and tweeting, and facebooking. I plan to graduate with a Bachelors in 2-3 years.

      2. melodylowes

        Way to go! I have had to limit my reading time, too – life does tend to get in the way of blogging… 🙂
