All in the Image of God – v2

Not just the kings, the pharaohs
not just you and me;
All are made, all of humanity
all are in the image of God.

Gathered from the dust
shaped by the Creator’s hands;
All of us clay on the Potter’s wheel.
All are given breath by the Spirit of God;
All of us are worthy of love.
