denying the chisel – v7

we resist the Master

our marble defiant,

denying the chisel

the work of the Sculptor;

we are clay rebelling

leaving the wheel

we refuse the Potter

His touch of love

the hand of teaching

trusting ourselves;

we deny the chisel

not willing to yield

we avoid the forge

the hammer, the anvil

refusing to bend

to conform to the teaching;

we go our own way

not submitting to God
