With removal of your dross,
comes a time of God's refinement.
It's when taking up your cross
is a tough and new assignment.
Yet the painful overwhelming,
with removal of your dross,
is an effort to rid something
in your life that's needing loss.
When your heart feels cut across
and the openness revealing,
with removal of your dross,
know it's needful for your healing.
When the trial has concluded,
wipe the tears of shiny gloss.
Thankful future pain's eluded,
with removal of your dross.
