Nothingness! A vast, empty expanse, without form and void
Only God can transform it into an astounding, vibrant earth, just by
The power of His Word!
A creepy caterpillar crawls into a chrysalis, there to droop and die
Only God can cause metamorphosis to a beautiful butterfly!
Wedged in the womb, a seemingly simple cell; to the naked eye, invisible
Only God can transform it into a functioning, fully-grown, intricate individual
The shrill sound of a soprano lad blows high to the sky zone
Only God can change the post-puberty pitch into a baritone
The waters of a lake, they ebb and flow, then rise and sink
Only God can freeze the fluid, now transformed into an ice rink
An angry, arrogant abuser who, instead of a heart has an empty hole!
Only God can change him into a contrite, compassionate, caring, whole, loving soul!
A plain, small seed, unembellished, unadorned, plant it in the soil and leave it be
Only God can cause it to manifest into a marvellous, magnificent, majestic oak tree!
Two aggrieved, antagonistic, stubborn, sad souls; bent on divorce!
Only God can transform them into a released, renewed, mirthful married couple;
Now on a new course!
Death and decay, a buried body rotting away; deceased and dehumanised!
Only God can change it into a body revived, revitalized, glorified and immortalized!
And only God, through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ
Can take a broken, abused, rejected, resentful, self-conscious, anxious, ashamed, fear-filled, timid, feeling inferior, insecure person like me
Then set her free, and transform her into what I now see!
He can do what veers from the norm
Only God can truly transform!
