Deuteronomy 8-10

When God wants to drill a man,And thrill a man, And skill a man;When God wants to mold a man

How He ruthlessly perfectsWhom He royally elects.

How He hammers him and hurts him,And with mighty blows converts him

Into trial shapes of clayWhich only God understands;

While his tortured heart is crying,And he lifts beseeching hands.

How He bends but never breaksWhen his good He undertakes.

How He uses whom He chooses,And with every purpose fuses him,

By every act, induces himTo try His splendor out.

God knows what He's about.
