its through the scars that i shine
you ridicule me
mock me
kick me
hate me
but remember this
every time you mock me
ridicule me you refine me
you try and take what is mine
and try to climb
you keep trying to push me under
but He will lift me up
you keep trying to trample me
but He will protect me
and expose you
not in my strength
but in His
i will fulfil my call
you are refining my character
into Gold
therefore i will Hold
onto His promises
and never let go
you despise me
can’t stand to be near me
for too long
for u cannot even explain your hate
because you are not even aware
that’s it’s there
oblivious about your actions
it’s obvious
you are blind
don’t you know that life is not streamlined
but i am designed
to be refined
you are guided by your own foolishness
while i will continue to be blessed
and refined
despite these tests
i continue on my quest
even though i know that no matter how much i try
i will never measure up
not in the skin I’m in
but blessed be His name
for one day i will lay claim
to my mansion
on His hill
i release you all, i forgive you all
and i will never fall
i will be strong unto the call
its through the scars that i shine
you ridicule me
mock me
kick me
bruise me
scar me
but you refine
you refine
ME
and through these scars
I WILL SHINE!
1 Peter 15

Hebrews 10 v 23
Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word];
