Rugged and unrefined
In impurity, we are mined
Taken while we still sin
Our own salvation trying to win
This way we do not stay
When at His feet our life we lay
A hunk of ore waiting for a master
Unlimited in the hands of a caster
A flame hotter than any before
Feeling unstable from crust to core
A life saved thrown into upheaval
Laying plain our hidden evil
Through pain and loss, ourselves revealed
Deepest secrets and wounds unsealed
Molten through the heat and fire
Slag exposed, more refining required
Liquid to solid, the shine made clear
Purer now, the change sincere
Receiving closure as injuries heal
Better than before but not yet ideal
