giving to the potter

giving to the potter

making our flesh supple

able to become a vessel

of the new wine of Christ

filling us to overflowing

but our skins do not burst

able to be a living vessel

of the new wine of Christ

sharing the blessing with others

the new wine, the good news

offering them the Spirit

the indwells within us

filled to overflowing but

not bursting our wineskins

filled to be poured

to be witnesses to life
