I want to be a pearl
as I live out God's plan,
Fully committed to the task
no matter the outcome at hand.
I want to be a diamond
as I reflect your light,
Knowing that this only comes
when extreme pressure becomes out of sight.
I want to be worth more than gold
because I know deep down,
The cost that someone paid for my soul
can't be reproduced in another mould.
I want to be sparkling like silver
as I behold the true depths of its beauty,
When my character becomes known
even in the conflict of duty.
I want to shine bright
every day of my life,
As I with courage stay strong
another day in this fight.
I want to be bold
even in the refining process,
Never afraid to stand out
in my uniqueness of purpose.
I want to be a ripple
of love every day,
No matter what you ask of me
as I live out my days.
