The Potter & The Clay
Jeremiah 18:1-10 In loving memory, two years into living a different plan than the original one we had imagined and heard. Grateful to our master planner for his reworking.
You are the Potter I am the clay I spin in your hands And that is ok
You form as you wish Whether I yield or resist You are making this dish But did I enlist for this?
Offended clay Wants its way Hinders your plan Distorts in your hand
Deforms rather than perform Prefers no uniform Rather twist than turn Rather warp than learn
Ruined vessel Crooked dish What shall I do I reform my wish
Pleasing to me My pleasure you will be I reform not broken shards
You are the Potter I am the clay I spin in your hands And that is ok

Deforms rather than perform Prefers no uniform Rather twist than turn Rather warp than learn
Ruined vessel Crooked dish What shall I do I reform my wish
Pleasing to me My pleasure you will be I reform not broken shards
