The glaze of God’s love – v2


We become tired, burdened,
too much for us to carry,
weak, succumbing, broken,
in the struggle, the grind of life…
 
God gathers our broken clay,
our sharp, shattered pieces,
raised, lifted by the Potter,
from the earth, this ground…
 
We are placed on the wheel,
made soft once again, plastic,
fired in the crucible of life,
washed in the glaze of God’s love…
 
Our broken clay reshaped,
renewed without, within,
in the hands of the Potter,
new life to begin…
 
Each of us unique, special,
in the eyes of the Creator,
the colors and patterns
of the glaze of our lives…
 
Oh, how the Potter loves us,
taking us out of the kiln, the fires,
placing us back in world renewed,
to fulfill His divine purpose…

Our hard, shattered pieces – v2

Our hard, shattered pieces,
broken on the ground before us,
just parts and fragments,
of our whole selves…
 
May we feel the touch of the Potter
upon each of us, loving us completely,
He is the Master Healer, our Creator,
a balm for every wound...
 
Hard broken shards gathered,
gently picked up by the Potter,
made pliable again, ready,
for the Potter’s loving touch…
 
May we feel the touch of the Potter,
the hand of our Maker, our Savior,
reshaping our broken flesh,
on the Potter’s wheel…
 
His way in a mystery, wonderful,
as if we are again in our mothers’ wombs,
within the hands of the Potter,
His sweet caress…
 
May we feel the touch of the Potter,
the love of our Lord, Jesus,
may the Spirit of God,
indwell within our hearts…
 
May the hands of the Potter,
mold us, reshape us,
healing us completely,
in ways only He can...
 
May we feel the touch of the Potter
upon each of us, loving us completely,
He is the Master Healer, our Creator,
a balm for every wound...

New Mercies – v2

New Mercies,
Grace upon grace,
New each morning,
The Love of God…
 
Waking with the dawning,
A new day birthing,
Offering us a new opportunity,
Touched by God…
 
Great is your Faithfulness,
Lord, God Almighty,
Great is Your Faithfulness,
Without beginning or end…
 
New mercies dawning,
Rising with the morning,
New life in Your only,
Our Creator, our God…

With Gratitude and Promise

Anew each morning,
Each new day’s dawning,
With gratitude and promise,
The presence of God…
 
Boundless mercies,
Compassion without ending,
Joy in the presence,
The indwelling of God…
 
Life in the fullness,
Our faith, in power,
Transforming our steps,
To the pathways of God…
 
Anew each morning,
Each new day’s dawning,
With gratitude and promise,

“I am the man.” – v2

I am the one standing before you,
the one who was blind, begging,
I was the one touched by Jesus,
“I am the man” saved,
given sight, redemption,
I am the one standing before you,
Who has been given new life…
 
“I am the man”, lifted,
who has been given sight,
I am redeemed by His words,
by His healing touch, by Jesus,
by His grace, by His love,
I am the one standing before you,
Who has been given new life…

“I am the man.”

I am the one standing before you,
The one who was blind, begging,
I was the one touched by Jesus,
“I am the man” saved,
Given sight, redemption,
I am the one standing before you,
Who has been given new life…

The prescription of Jesus – v2

sick with sin
broken, beaten

healing us completely
returning us to health
