The Master Jeweler watched intently for the perfect time
For the coal that ignored Him He thought, will soon be Mine.
And in this course of time, He did see
That huge lump of coal, that coal was me.

The Master had waited throughout that life
For the coal to yearn to be His wife
And the moment that coal reached out to Him
He made a diamond of splendor where that coal had been

No longer black, so brittle with sin
The diamond was made with light from within
Oh how the newly formed gem did rejoice
when the Master with love gave to her a new voice

The change was so new, so special so rare
As the diamond's new nature was laid opened and bare
She sang of His praises, Her new Master, her Love
And she knew she was different, a gift from above

She marveled at how much the world around her had changed
She didn't realize yet it was the breaking of chains
She'd been coal all her life in the darkness and sin
That the Light oh so bright had been birthed from within

And she sang and she danced for surely no other
Had been so blessed by her Master, her Savior, her Lover
And He smiled as He held her, she was all His delight
As He saw His reflection, His beautiful Light

She said, "O my Savior my Lord, what took me so long?"
And He answered her quickly with His own special song
He sang of His love, He sang of His grace
He sang until His light reflected her face

Then He let her know some of His plan then and there
to make her a reflection of His love every where
He had a great plan to make facets without
That would shine His light freely destroying all doubt

He had written a letter of love and of grace
to help her see clearly and to finish her race
She saw that the beauty her Master did see
Was not perfume and flowers but all she would be
jewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlenejewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlenejewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlene
And He spoke of His word down deep in her heart
And she knew as she read this was only the start
She read and she listened, she cried and received
All of His words is just what she believed

Now the story's not ending, it's plain if you'll look
Her changes are daily as she reads His good Book
So He sings His love song and fashions her more
As she receives her new nature and her love to Him soars
jewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlenejewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlenejewelStar.gif picture by SissyMarlene
And as they continue to dance, the two are now one
Never alone till His work is all done
The coal is all gone, she has died with Him
A lump of coal no more but His beautiful Gem.
