When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
Watch His methods, watch his ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
God only understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
Whom His good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And with every purpose fuses him;
And by every act induces him
To try His splendor out.
God knows what He's about
Amen.taken from "God's Miraculous Plan of Economy" by Jack Taylor
