[Verse 1]
I was dust on the table
Hard and cracked in the sun
Every line
Every label
Said the work was undone
Then You reached with compassion
Stained and holy Your palms
Called me out of the shadows
Into shaping and calm
[Chorus]
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
Turn me and press me
Don’t let me stay the same
Break what is crooked
Throw it away
Make me a vessel that carries Your name
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
[Verse 2]
When the wheel starts its turning
And the speed makes me shake
Every fault
Every weakness
Rises up in its wake
But Your grip never falters
As You center my heart
You can crush me to remold me
Just to set me apart
[Chorus]
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
Turn me and press me
Don’t let me stay the same
Break what is crooked
Throw it away
Make me a vessel that carries Your name
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
[Bridge]
If it seem good unto Thee
Shape what You will out of me (oh Lord)
Take this marred and broken piece
Speak
And I’ll be made complete
[Chorus]
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
Turn me and press me
Don’t let me stay the same
Break what is crooked
Throw it away
Make me a vessel that carries Your name
Thou art the Potter
I am the clay
(Thou art the Potter, I am the clay)
