my clay still wet – v3

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,

giving to 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
