Poetry
As You knew my frame,
You remembered I am dust.
Yet You remained the same,
and You did as You must.
You came to me and gave Your love
and I was made undone.
Your Spirit came, like a dove,
and I became Your son.
Now You come again
after I had fell.
You looked beyond my sin
bringing Your loving well.
You had asked, "Do you love Me?"
and I was caught off guard.
In Your seeking to make me free
I saw my heart was hard.
Yet there You were and there I was
with Your question of love.
Freeing me from my dust
was Your Spirit's dove.
You took this dust and made it clay
by the water of Your Spirit.
And as it is, now this day,
I tell that all may hear it.
So now I go to feed Your sheep
that I may love You, Lord.
I free them all from the deep
because I am adored.
I tell you all that if you're His
reminding you you're adored.
Walk again in this bliss
if He is your Lord.
You have a gift that came from Him,
you're tasked to give it back.
So rise up from your sin
getting back on Jesus' track.
Use your gift and love His sheep
just as He empowers.
Raise them up from the dark and deep
while we have the daylight hours.
We are the dust that's been made clay
by the water of His Spirit.
And as it is, now this day,
go tell all that they may hear it.
See us now go to feed Your sheep
that we may love You, Lord.
We free them all from the deep
because we are adored.
