The Potter's Hands

My view of a Christian's relationship to Jesus, our Potter.

The Potter's hands control the clay
To work and mold it day by day.

With steady hands this Craftsman strong
Begrudges not His labour long.

He toils with a Holy love
To craft a work for God above.

He gently prods the clay to turn
As He creates a precious urn.

Tho' Satan would the urn deface
The Potter's hands hold saving grace.

Those strong and gentle, loving hands
Were wounded by the hands of man.

Yet, Love would not be held at bay,
The Potter still controls the clay.
