Smithereens

Break me, Lord.
Shatter the sinful man,
and leave not one stone upon another.
Grind down the pride and lust and hatred.
                 but,
from the dust of those ruins,
    build me anew - deep of foundation - true to plumb,
        high, and higher still,
'till all can see, revealed at last,
a monument to your love.
Break me.
Lord.
I pray.
