THE POTTER AND THE CLAY Lyrics

As clay within the potter's hand

Responsive to his will

So let us be, and in us, Lord

Thy purposes fulfill

Made willing in thy day of power

Each restless spirit still

Lord, make this place thy potter's house

Where thou shalt have thy way

To mold and fashion as thou wilt

Upon thy wheel today

Cleansing from sin's impurity

Make pliant as the clay

Thou hast a purpose in each life

Thou hast thine own great plan

Thou seest possibilities

Unseen by us in man

And where man says, Impossible

Thy love has said, I can

Lord, make this place thy potter's house

Where thou shalt have thy way

To mold and fashion as thou wilt

Upon thy wheel today

Cleansing from sin's impurity

Make pliant as the clay

Cleansing from sin's impurity

Make pliant as the clay

Dear Lord, too oft we've hindered thee

And would not passive lie

And let thee work thy work in us

Thy name to glorify

Now with desire thy will be done

Our longing spirits cry

Lord, make this place thy potter's house

Where thou shalt have thy way

To mold and fashion as thou wilt

Upon thy wheel today

Cleansing from sin's impurity

Make pliant as the clay

Cleansing from sin's impurity

Make pliant as the clay
