Malleable hearts – v2

may our hearts be open,
clay in the hands the Potter,
malleable hearts ready,
willing to be molded
to be shaped, perfected,
by the Potter, by God…
 
may our hearts be plastic,
pliable, moist, giving,
elastic, compliant, submissive,
may we be reshaped, molded,
touched by our Father,
created for His holy purpose…
 
may our hearts be thankful,
aware of our blessings, grateful,
feeling the hand of the Potter,
His purpose, His guidance,
knowing by His touch,
we are shaped by His love…

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…

New wineskins, pliable clay – v2

We are broken vessels,
shards of clay held together,
holding living waters, flames
of the Spirit, everlasting light,
scattered on the earth, picked up,
gathered into the hands of God...
 
Our broken pieces are released,
lovingly placed by our Potter, 
gently put back onto His wheel,
our clay becoming wineskins,
new flesh, new creations,
holding the living waters of life...
 
We are fired in adversity,
made strong through struggle,
we are made whole in love,
we are emptied to be filled,
to be poured out, a blessing,
a free-will offering for the world...

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...

Gather my pieces, my brokenness,
hold them, all of me, in Your hands,
Soften me, make me new, pliable,
Reshape me on Your wheel, mold me,

Make me a living vessel for Your glory…

Mold me for Your purpose, all of me,

Make me whole, useful, a vessel,

Give me a heart to obey, to follow,
to go where Your Spirit leads…

Reshape me on Your wheel – v3

Take my broken clay, Lord,
Gather my pieces, my brokenness,
Reshape me on Your wheel,
my Creator, my Potter,
Mold me for Your purpose,
to Your perfect will,
Make me whole, useful,
to do Your sacred work,
Give me a heart to follow,
where Your Spirit leads…

Refine me, oh God – v2

Refine me, oh God,
burn away my imperfections.
Lead me in the paths of righteousness,
save me from my sin, from the pit…
 
Refine me, oh God,
as a smith refines silver.
Burn away all that is not You,
in my body, in my spirit …
 
Refine me, oh God,
in the fire, through persevering.
Show me how to live my life,
for Your purpose, for Your Glory…

Focus on what is good – v2

Focus on what is good
in your thoughts, in your actions,
focus on what is admirable, worthy,
that which is merciful, just…
 
Be at peace in each moment,
in whatever your circumstance,
live into your calling, your purpose,
while you walk this earth…
 
Focus on what is good,
that which is righteous, noble,
aspire to live a life, repentant,
knowing the cost of God’s grace…
