Handpicked

The apple tree will burst with fruit for all
A wondrous choice
So many out of reach, and some may fall
We can rejoice
that He will love the fruit that He has found
And gently pick bruised apples from the ground.
How beautifully He tends our bruises now
His gentle Hand
To raise us, wounds and all, His Grace would show
us to His Land
Where apples mix with milk and honey blest
And at His table, we enjoy His Rest.
God has handpicked each one, for His own use
Where we will find
Our own unique creation will produce
A different kind
of imprint, of a different kind of Man
Whose Blood shows us, a different kind of Plan.
As individuals we are brought so near
Uniquely placed
To show His worth, within His Body here
When we will taste
His purposes intended for this world
To see Salvation's flag by Him unfurled.
The world will make a different kind of man
That will arise
For mechanistic viewpoints soon will span
Before our eyes
Controlling of our thought, to think the same
An artificial quality proclaim.
How differently, God's wondrous world supplies
Great stores of Grace
For their new name will be His heavenly prize
And run the race
Eyes fixed upon the wonder of this Man
To know the greatest Love since time began.
