Shells

IMPERFECT SHELLS

God walked by the shores of paradise
As the tides of time raged in
To find the shells for his collection
God would search time and again

And to God, even imperfect shells
Those broken or that didn't shine
Had special value to God, you see
For they stood the test of time

Some were of many colors
Imperfect shells had the greater test
It seemed of all the shells that God found
He loved the imperfect shells best.

But if only I be a grain of sand
On a shore that seems so far
If I can but shine for the light of God
In his eyes, I will be a star.

God loves even imperfect shells
Though we fail God time and again
God is always there, waiting for you
When came the final rain.

So be in Gods collection
No matter how imperfect you may be
For God loves even those who fail
Find heavenly eternity

For imperfect shells God collects
Just try to be on that shore!
Seek daily to be saved by God
As time shall be no more
When time shall be no more.
