"What Shall I Render?"
By Melanie Dorsey
What shall I render to You?
Like the mountains I melt in Your presence.
My inner parts laid bare.
What shall I render to You?
My roots are firmly planted.
Your pruning pains, yet a promise of fruit.
What shall I render to You?
In a desert, still there are hidden springs.
No mirage; It is You.
Like the mountains I melt in Your presence.
My inner parts laid bare.
What shall I render to You?
My roots are firmly planted.
Your pruning pains, yet a promise of fruit.
What shall I render to You?
In a desert, still there are hidden springs.
No mirage; It is You.
What shall I render to You?
Broken and fragmented.
In silence, lips move, “Beautiful.”

I like that last part. "Broken and fragmented. In silence, lips move, 'Beautiful.'"
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteOh, Melanie, I love that. Love and Hugs ~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! In February, while at the beach I, too was drawn to the broken shells. I gathered some of them and brought them home...later I placed them in a basket on an old trunk in our bedroom. Every time I see them, I am reminded of how GOD polishes and works in and through the shattered pieces of my life.

ReplyDeleteThought of you today as I got some bad news concerning my momma. The breast cancer has metastasized and is now in her brain. Oncologist has given her two months.
That is a beautiful truth - there is beauty in brokenness... and brokenness doesn't negate beauty.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you~
