denying the chisel – v5

resisting the master
our marble defiant
denying the chisel
any work of the sculptor
our clay rebelling
leaving the wheel

refusing the potter
God’s touch of love
the hand of teaching
trusting ourselves
denying the chisel
not willing to yield

avoiding the forge
the hammer, the anvil
refusing to bend
to conform to the teaching
going their our way
not submitting to God
