Precious Is My Life From God

Precious is my life, authored by God based on His sovereign plan… He chose me before the world began To belong to His royal clan And bear His name in the best way I can. So precious is my life wrought by God according to His grand design… He formed me in my mother’s womb – so well and fine To carry my parents’ genes and bloodline And to do His great will, never to resign. Very precious is my life cared by God as His divine project… He loved me, saving me from sin’s gruesome defect To be transformed as my way He does direct And leads me toward heavenly pursuits by His grace I can’t reject. Truly, precious is my life valued by God beyond the ephemeral… He sacrificed Himself for me, quickening my soul, making me spiritual To own assured salvation with life eternal And abide by His standards that are biblical. Blessed is my precious life since God crafts it thru His magnificent tools daily… He imputed to me His righteousness so I can be holy To enable me to comply to His Word obediently And to follow His Spirit humbly. My precious life is God’s masterpiece molded toward His perfection… He took 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. Indeed, precious is my life*, constantly refined by God 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 service-joyfulness.

Yes, yes, yes, Beata! Our lives are, indeed, precious inasmuch as they are fashioned by G-d---and inasmuch as we proclaim that and 'cultivate the relationship' throughout our time here on Earth. Excellently conceived and executed poetry. Congrats on your podium win. Best wishes, Gershon
