Jesus is the Master Potter By Franklin Price 09/14/2023 Jesus, is the master potter We, the followers His Clay He molds us into shining lamps Reconstructing day by day He lays His hands upon us Kneads and shapes us 'til we're done He is the Master Potter Who recreates us, He's the one As cracks appear, remolds us, Provides our structure with relief Then fuels us, and lights us To be His lamps that shine belief He trims our wicks when needed To even light the darkest hour Leading others to salvation His lamp has given us that power He adds a globe of glass or crystal To let the light burn in the wind To guide lost souls to heaven For since the garden, all have sinned He cleans our globes when they have darkened And our lamps are not as bright And we doubt that we are able To shine out believing light If Jesus had not died for us On that cross upon the hill Would be no need to have our lamps For other's nights, our lights, to fill
