I'm God's Workmanship

I’m God’s workmanship* settled in His plan He chose me before the world began To belong to His royal clan And bear His name in the best way I can. I’m God’s creation according to His design He formed me in my mother’s womb – so well and fine To carry my parents’ genes and bloodline And to fulfill His will, never to resign. I’m God’s vessel which is His gracious project He saved me from sin’s eternal defect To transform me as my way He does direct And leads me to His mercy I can’t reject. I’m God’s student learning from His divine material He quickened my soul, making me spiritual To own assured salvation with life eternal And abide by His standards that are biblical. I’m God’s follower crafted through His tools daily He imputed to me His righteousness truly To enable me to strive to be holy And to follow His Spirit humbly. I’m God’s steward refined along His faithfulness He bestowed on me abilities to use with skillfulness To harness in the crucible of His fruitfulness And be a blessing to others with joyfulness. I’m God’s masterpiece molded toward His perfection He took me out me out from the miry clay of corruption To fashion me to fulfill His assigned function And shine as vessel of honor for His exaltation. *Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
