The Sculptors Work of Art

His Cross is chisel to my heart
     To chip away my dross;
One greater than my heart imparts
     Himself at His own cost.

He sees in me His image made
     The moment I’m conceived,
Yet I am born beneath sin’s shade;
     For my true self I grieve.

I pine for Him to re-make me
     And call forth who’s within;
I long to Him to bend my knee
     As He saves me from sin.

Then from the granite of my heart
     Emerges my true self:
The Master Sculptor’s work of art
     Returned to Eden’s health.
