There Is A Way

It looks bad right now Feels bad too As bad as it ever has Probably worse I am tired I’m beat up and sore and angry I wish I had and it as good as Job Nine months of suffering? Ha!! If only I had and it so good!! We are talking decades here!! But that is not the point There is something beyond A plan way bigger than that I am a work in progress Someone has me in his hands Someone vast and beautiful Someone timeless and infinite A Master artist, a dreamer A Maker of impossible dreams Who knows how to shape a tool Turning a jar on the wheel Pounding a sword on the anvil Someone with limitless vision Someone with an eternal plan He knows what he is doing And I am and extension of him All this is necessary It doesn’t matter how much I hate it All will be used in the end To do something bold and daring Glorious and eternal in scope To stun all who will learn of it In heaven and in earth And bring glory to the King These things require preparation Arduous training, fine tuning Hot refining fire Yes, there is a Way Through this valley dark He is the Way The One I know The Master who has led me Through many valleys before I am ever learning To know him and his ways He is faithful and true Always victorious Brilliant in vision Always right And beautiful to the end Mighty God!! Worthy to be praised!! Stephen Pursell,  5/4/15
