Old Vacuum Song

My old vacuum won't pick up the dirt, 
Seems like it needs a little bit of work, 
So I open it up, and change out the bin, 
Pull out the hair and put a new belt in, 
And then I see -  
It's a bit like me, 
Because sometimes God comes and takes me apart, 
Pulls out the gunk, and tunes up my heart, 
So I can be 
What He means me to be, 
And I'm glad 
He won't give up on me. 

My veggie patch is not a pretty sight. 
I've got thistles in the beans, and the tomatoes have a blight, 
So I roll up my sleeves, and pull out the hoe, 
I work plant by plant and row by row, 
And then I see -  
It's a bit like me, 
Because sometimes God comes and pulls out my weeds, 
Revives my soul and plants some new seeds, 
So I can be 
What He means me to be, 
And I'm glad 
He won't give up on me. 

God says, "I've started a good work in you, 
And I won't give up until that work is through, 
Because the fruits of the Spirit make you shine like new, 
So you can rest in my love like I mean you to, 
And then you'll see -  
You're a bit like me, 
Because I've given you my Spirit and I've given you my name, 
Washed away your sin, and removed your shame, 
So you can be 
What I mean you to be, 
And I'm glad 
You belong to Me."
