Notes About The Poem

Another one of those 3:00 AM poems provided to me by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

Jesus Is the Master Potter

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
