The Iron Did Swim

THE IRON DID SWIM     2 KINGS 6:6

 

You see I specialize in raising what was lost from the dead.

I make fallen axe heads float at my command,

They will be completely restored in the Master Craftsman’s hand.

 

To keep you razor sharp is foremost in my plan,
To keep you tightly secure on my handle

Restoring complete soundness once again.

 

You will fell the timbers that will build my house 

Your usefulness will excel in my strength

Never think at this time it is now too late

My power to restore is never out of date.

 

Axe heads will fly off their handles and sink

Appearing hopelessly lost in the murky deep.

But for sunken old axe heads it is never too late

You see restoration is all my delight.

 

The cry “alas” will I hear once again

 The stick has been cast that rose Christ from the dead.

The losses of this life I have overcome

Restoration is certain through the power of His Son.

 

Pastor Michael Baranek
