Gathering My Pieces – v2

When I fall, when I stumble
when I fall to the ground, broken,
God gathering my pieces
those spread upon the ground

Picking me up
with His loving hands
reworking my clay
for His purpose, alone

Leading me on
the Spirit guiding
to do my Master’s will,
the way of the Savior

Showing me the way
ever onward, forward,
to bring God’s light
to this troubled world

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
