Not Done

NOT DONE (with us)
 
There once was a magnificent temple,
With the purest of gold the LORD'S house was lined,
Though it was only temporal,
It was perfect in detail according to God's design.

Then came an indestructible Temple,
He is Jesus –Messiah –God Divine,
See Him –our Beautiful Savior,
By faith we touch Him –in Him we shall shine.

Our bodies too are God's temple,
Chosen and built up in His time,
We are His vessels tried and tested,
By a furnace of affliction –various degrees to refine.

God's work in us is a continuing process,
Never expect our Lord to leave you alone,
As He purifies us as precious metals,
Until He takes us home.

1 Chr 28:19 2Chr 3:4-9  Jn 2:19-21 1Co 6:19  1 Pe 1:6,7
