Refined Gold


Craft your work, whatever you put your hand to, to the best of your ability

Because of who I am – as if you do it just for me

Overlay everything you do with refiners gold

Overlay everything with purity

Overlay everything with what is expensive and costly

This is pleasing in my sight

I deserve only the best – from a pure and willing heart

Make it beautiful

Adorn it all with your love for me

In loving me, you will love others well.

In loving others well, you’ll be loving me.

I give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for any spirit of heaviness.

You are my planting, so be lasting.

I have given you the best. So recognise it, and give it back to me with a joyful heart.

From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze

Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold. So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
