The Little Spark Within

Man is but a tiny breath

Expelled from Holy lungs

Fashioned clay by Potter’s hand

The world to overcome

This Holy spark within man lies

Beneath the heavy, soil

Of Self and Me and Mine!

Of Predatory toil

As tiny breath of Holy God

Remains in darkest depths

It’s drawing Self and Me and Mine

To holiness and rest

From labors most unworthy

From pits of dark despair

To Light and Life and Joy and Peace

To Father God’s sweet care

It never was His purpose,

Man’s rent from loving bond

His heart’s one deep desire?

Relationship beyond

 

Death, that grave, and hellish realm

Where lost and living end

Where tiny spark of Holy breath

Bursts fully into flame

To stand at once before His throne

So Regal and Supreme

While voice as roaring thunders tell,

“Mankind has been redeemed!”
