My thoughts pure, but they were spoiled
My strength was mighty, but it brought weakness
My heart aimed for good, but my quiver had no arrows
My heart filled with love, but my chambers sat empty
My intent brought peace, but my actions caused war
My ears heard wisdom, but my eyes fixed on folly
My hands held fine sand, but my fingers sifted the grains
My honor shined bright, but my disgrace let darkness in

My life was a cluster of coal, but the Lord henceforth a diamond!

I like the imagery of the sand. It brought me into the moment. Using sensory images, the feel of hold the sand and then the action of sifting it and it falling through the spaces between the fingers, was a great analogy.
