| Clay, Dust, and Ashes When we construct a building strong It would be so very wrong To start the building at the top And silly too- we'd have to stop. Our foundation we should seek By digging down so very deep To the rock or to the clay and build strong sides, all the way. The Hebrew word for clay is ground, For forming Adam, God had found. The very best and strongest clay To make man good and stay that way But Satan got to Adam's wife, And by her, he ruined poor Adam's life So Satan from the very start, Kept them and God so far apart. God had a very unique plan To save the souls of every man But death claimed the body--no clay was saved And left only ashes and dust for the grave. Margorie Tesh Adams 1996 |
