like the potter and the clay – v3

May God always keep us in His grasp
in His loving hands
like the Potter and the clay;
May we ever be malleable
giving to His touch
offering ourselves fully
to be transformed in love;
May we be molded by His hands
reaching down from above
making vessels worthy
filled with His love
