MAKE ME LIKE WAX
Written By Linda A. Knowles
October 2003
Make me like wax before the fire,
Softened and easy to shape.
Though my flesh roars out
for acts and crusades of rebellion,
May my spirit always yield
and submit to your ways.
Though purification
from selfishness and pride,
wrongful ways and sinful attitudes
may inflict temporal pain,
cleansed me as You did Isaiah
when the coal touched his lips
so I may be with You
from everlasting to everlasting.
May I continually strive
along your paths of righteousness
and seek out Your ways
that I might not become calloused
and lose First Love.
