Poetry
I’m just a diamond in the rough
A gem in the Master’s hand
A stone for the Master’s building
Carved by his patient hand
He saw in the earthly sod one day
A gem beneath the soil and said,
“I’m going to use you child,”
So He began to chip away
The sin, the hurts, the pride
The layers of selfish ambition
As He tarries for the end result
A glorious gem in His creation
Oh how he loves us so
To see the gem inside us;
Jesus Christ the Hope of Glory
And the Holy Ghost of promise
Patiently he works
Never ceasing or ever weary
Carving our lives into reflective diamonds
Ready to shine for His glory
Little by little His glory revealed
From glory to glory we change
A facet here and a facet there
To the world seeming clumsy and strange
Yet in His eyes a perfect prize
A pleasing glowing sight
His perfected church a royal stone
Carved by His power and might
How wonderful to know
We’re just a diamond in the rough
A gem in the Master’s building
So that stone upon stone
He builds us up to be His holy habitation
