A poem dedicated to all dear men of God in GLCC and around the world: When God wants a man..=)

When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man and skill a man;
When God wants to mould a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world will be amazed --
Watch His method, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects;
How He hammers him and hurts him
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which only God can understand --
While his tortured heart is crying and
He lifts his beseeching hands!
How God bends, but never breaks,
When His good He undertakes --
How He uses whom He chooses
And with every purpose fuses him,
By every art induces him
To try His splendour out --
Yes, God knows what He’s about.

When God wants to name a man
And fame a man and tame a man;
When God wants to shame a man
To do his heavenly best;
When He tries the highest test
That His reckoning may bring;
When He wants to make a king --
When the force that is divine
Leaps to challenge every feature and
His ardour still is sweet
And love and hope are burning in the
Presence of defeat --
When the people need salvation
Doth he come to lead the nation
Then to all God shows His plan
When the world has found -- God's man!

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
