Dirt and living water
dust and the breath of life
my vessel formed
within my mother’s womb
my vessel forming
in the loving hands of God

-----------------------
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
