A Beautiful Creature
As a caterpillar sheds its skin...
And changes into a butterfly,
A repentant soul sheds its sin...
And to its old tattered self doth die.
In the pupal stage it's warmed,
According to God's great plan;
There a new being is formed,
Created by His own hand.
Hallelujah! One glorious day
The miracle birth takes place...
In God's own time, and in His way,
A soul is freed by grace.
Oh, what a change is wrought...
Such a wretched worm - a lowly sight,
Who would have ever thought
A Beautiful Creature would take flight?
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new."
(II Cor.5:17)
