Rocks To Rubies

You trade my rocks for rubies

A higher value they

In this profound injustice

You turn me not away

You turn my scribbles into songs

This jibberish which demands

My way, and yet I yearn to long

To fall into Your hands

You gave me a body, mind, and heart

I take for granted so

The glorious impact of each day

Which You design and know

A soul You placed inside this frame

Of sinew, blood, and bone

With thankfulness I weep and shout

For You won't leave me alone

I'm dross, yet You make silver

And give me strength to bear

The refinement of Your fire

Through pain, such joy to share

You trade my stones for sapphires

Such lovely worth have they

You give me grace to lift my eyes

When You ask me to stay
