Bricks and Mortar
by Belinda van Rensburg
Laying bricks upon another,
Mortar in between;
One stone placed upon the other -
Realization of a dream.
Built according to design,
Blueprint at the ready;
Guided by each dot and line
Progression's sure and steady.
Though storms and setbacks interfere,
Or funds run very low;
The workers need to persevere,
Though the going might seem slow.
Sharing in God's dream design,
The Bible as our guide;
Trials meant to mold, refine;
Draw us closer to His side.
Each new lesson is a brick,
God's will the strong cement;
His Word is our measuring stick
Which nobody may bend.
Jesus Christ our sure foundation -
Our ever steady Rock;
Lord of all; King of Creation -
Overseer of His flock.
