From Rags to Riches

ragged, raging souls
tattered, tittering thots
battered, embittered minds
tortured, anxious ones
twisting in uneasy, icy lifewinds-
I rest my case

Still, listening heart reassured
"without Him I can do nothing-
with Him all things are possible"
blessed knowing 'ahas'
break forth like trumpet blasts-
pealing 'now I understand"

once forbbidding Red Seatimes
enemy pursuing then struck dead
seeing a path like magic open
comes fresh Godcourage G ospelgiven
watching awestruck ; one by one
sindead, hard kernalled manseeds-
Christtouched,unfolding into rich, eternal Lifeflowers
