holding treasure in clay jars – v3

Ever holding the gifts,
within our bodies,
the grace of God
the love of Christ
fed by the Spirit

Given new life,
holding treasure in clay jars,
within our bodies
held in our hearts
meant to be shared

To be poured, overflowing,
from the joy in our lives,
the presence of God
the Spirit within us
with us always

joy within my clay – v2

hope within my dust
joy within my clay
God here with us
Christ up above

love with my cells
every fiber of my body
God changed my life
raised from the dust

joy in my heart
pouring out in love
the Spirit guides me
from this life into life

light, order

light, order
out of chaos
God’s word willing
water into its place
light in the world
order, to the dome
God’s word,
“let there be light”,
a place for the waters
the dome, the world

God uses us anyway

broken, bloodied
chipped in this life
our clay stubborn, stiff
God forgives us as we are
God uses us anyway
to win the battle
to share the message
the Good News alive
living within us
within our broken clay
God uses us anyway
to share light to the world

God forgives us in our mess

God loves the clay
God loves all of us
God forgives us in our mess
our chaos, our dust
God loves us no matter what
no matter our sins
God calls us to Him
for life to begin again
