As to the Touch of the Potter – v2

Giving, at ease,

softening my exterior

giving my life over

as to the touch of the Potter

From the earth, the ground

made of the stuff of this world

made holy, worthy only

by the workings of his hands

Transforming me from the inside

chiseling me from without

making me a worthy vessel

only by the workings of His hands

As to the touch of the Potter

the Artist working with my stone

rough-hewn and uneven

until He makes me His own
