Prayer for Clay Hearts

My heart is like clay
Putty in Your holy hands
It is Yours to make
Yours alone to command 

Make me silver straight 
In the crooked places within
Guide me in faith I pray
Take away quicksand sins

Heal me where I’m hurting
Bind me where I’m unstable 
Encourage me as You’re working 
To put, bless food on my table

Warm me when I am cold
Arm me with word of gold
Alarm me when I need it most
Storm me flood my soul
