This Ragged Soul

 

You planted Your Word in my heart,
Watered it with Your grace,
And I have felt it slowly grow,
Even in that tight space.
 
At first it was just a small seed,
The idea of change,
Nestled within my rough edges.
Something both real and strange.  
 
Yet, as it grew within Your Light,
I came to understand,
That what was blooming in my heart
Rested safe in Your hand.
 
Lord, I will praise You every day!
You took this ragged soul
And held me close within Your Light,
Renewed me, made me whole.
 
Job 12:10
In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
