The Stone

Oh, Master of my Hand,

You also guide my heart and know I am Yours.

May I be Your servant. 

May my feet walk on the paths you have illuminated

So I may follow all those who have come before.

May my every action reflect the light

Of a thousand sparkling jewels who know You.

Allow me to join their Chorus of light.

We sparkle like the sun on the sea.

Ever changing.  Ever glorious.

Our light calls to others, “Join us!

See how the Divine has illuminated every facet of our soul!”

Then they will come with an open heart

To reflect the way for others.

As I walk through a dark and unknown forest

May I remember to call upon you.

May I allow You to ignite the Sparkling Sea

Within my soul

So I may light a path for others

To follow out of the darkest of hollows in the woods.

May my memories of Your unending grace

Drop like jewels along my path

So others may find their way back to Your light.

Oh, Shaper of my Soul, fashion me into Your reflection

And let my many facets radiate Your infinite kindness

Oh, Shaper of my Soul, chip away my roughness

And polish my every action

Until I am the jewel

You intend for me to be.

Allow my facets to reflect only Your Light.

For You are the one who dwells inside every stone.

You are the one who brings us to the surface

Where we may finally live in the light.

I was as rough as a stone and you made me beautiful.

You held me up to the Sun to see how to perfectly shape me.

You knew where to break me open

To allow the light into me.

Then you polished me until I shone forth with brilliance.

I reflect Your Glory and am grateful.
