Like the Potter – v3

Like the Potter, the Maker

with His hands on the inside,

the outside of the bowl;

God is molding us,

upon the wheel

Shaping us, chiseling

the rough edges sanded;

rough-hewn stone of our lives

giving to God’s loving hands

Submitting our lives

our bodies given over

preparing us, reformed;

new eyes, new bodies

living in the New Jerusalem
