Reshape me on Your wheel – v5

Take up my broken clay, Lord,
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,
my Creator, my Potter, with Your touch,
Make me a living vessel for Your glory…
 
Take up my broken clay, Lord,
Mold me for Your purpose, all of me,
to Your perfect will, oh my Father,
Make me whole, useful, a vessel,
to do Your sacred work, my calling,
Give me a heart to obey, to follow,
to go 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…

All Hearts Are Open – 2 – v7

To You, oh God

we are an open book;

You know us completely

all hearts are open

to Your vision, Your wisdom

Cleanse me fully

for I am fully known to You;

burn me clean

burn away my imperfections

anything keeping me from You

All Hearts Are Open – 2 – v6

To you, oh God

nothing is hidden

we are an open book

you know us completely

All hearts are open

to your vision, your wisdom

fully known to you

nothing is hidden

Cleanse me fully

burn me clean

burn away my imperfections

keeping me from you

Heal my brokenness

apply balm to my pain

lift me, guide me

help me serve You again
