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
