Within my clay
the skin of my presence
my body, my spirit
holding onto such treasure
in humble, simple vessels
the earthen jars
of my human existence
Such treasure, beyond imagination
the gift of God’s grace
redeeming my very life
from the grave rising
because of His rising
from the depths of Sheol
to the heavens above
