Giving to His Hands

Warming in his touch
feeling his guiding
giving to his hands
to clay to the potter

Ever living flesh
to be molded to his purpose
let me be giving
of my whole self to him

Following my master
loving his correction
turning toward my God
not to other graven idols

That we would be a people
an inheritance to treasure
not to be broken and scattered
saving only a remnant

In the Potter’s Hands

I am clay in the potter’s hands
Mold me, shape me, make me
What you will of me
Use me for your purposes
Imbue me with the skills, the spirit
To serve where you would have me serve
Performing the services you would intend
Wherever you would send me
However you would will me
To send me forth
From this space, this place
Into the world
As your servant, your son
Your child, in your image,
The image of your son,
Our brother, our example,
Our savior, like us clay
Held in the potter’s hands
