my clay still wet – v2

ever may I be able to proclaim
my clay still wet, moving
still sitting on the potter’s wheel
feeling the touch of His hands
the drawing me out
pulled higher, fuller
shaping me, molding me
crafting me for His purpose
ever pliable, changing
following the Master’s will

My Clay

Praying, in the quiet of my heart
my clay, giving myself
my heart, my all
becoming a vessel
worthy for God’s purposes
filled with God’s love
His living water
pure, refreshing
waters for the soul
Let me pour them out,
sharing them, my clay still wet
dripping with the waters of your love
