God's Golden Threads
by Mary Ellen SmithGod has a thread and needle
For mending broken lives.
He stitches us so carefully
We shouldn't be surprised.
When we're poor and broken.
Our hearts in disrepair
He patches in His mercy,
Embroiders in His care.
Our seams may be unraveling
Our fabric gets so worn,
He makes a brand new garment
Out of something old and torn.
Stitching us with golden threads
Spooled from His heavenly places,
Our garments, shining with love
Reflect upon our faces.
