worthless lumps of clay


at best we were nothing
worthless lumps of clay
the stuff of the earth
molded into bodies
filled with the breath of God

at our worst we were enemies
of God, of the Trinity,
fighting for a false freedom
wandering from the garden
rebelling against our God

at God’s best He redeemed us
showing a love unmerited
nothing we deserved,
that we can earn
given freely by Jesus

at our worst God was at His best
showing us grace and mercy
healing us in our sinfulness
our brokenness, our rebellion
sacrificing for us to redeem us again
