To My Clay – v2

The lump of earth
my life returning
over and over
when I stumble,
when I fall
sinning against God

Going once more, anew
my clay upon the Potter’s wheel
chipped, sometimes shards only
only bits of clay, of dust, glaze,
made supple, renewed
revitalized, redeemed

His precious blood, poured out
washing me, applied
to my chipped, cracked clay
giving me new life
pliable once more
to the will of the Potter’s hands
