On the Potter’s Wheel – v2

My clay, though aged
not as in my youth
yet supple to His touch
to His loving hands

Forever new, wet clay
sitting on the wheel
waiting for His touch
for me to be healed

Sitting on the potter’s wheel
my clay in His hands
to be restored by His touch
to be transformed by His command

Going back on the potter’s wheel

Understanding the father,
perhaps in a different way
the creator, our savior
gathering us in
his arms open wide
taking in our brokenness
placing us
back on the potter’s wheel
changing us
molding us
new clay may we be
able to move, to flow anew
shaped by the potter once again
