ever may I be able to
proclaim,
(an answer to my prayer)
my clay still wet, moving,
giving to His hand, His
molding,
still sitting on the Potter’s
wheel
feeling the touch of His
hands
the drawing me out, wooing;
pulled higher, fuller,
shaping me, molding me
into a worthy vessel
crafting me for His purpose
ever pliable, changing,
giving to the Master’s will;
my clay still wet, moving
to the Potter’s touch

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
