Clay jars Lord? …What a choice You’ve made
Simpletons…Sinners…What an odd parade
Shouldn’t You have chosen prestigious porcelain
China clay fired to a high degree?
But no…You chose clay jars
Cracked pots…just like me

Clay jars Lord? …What’s it all about?
But ah! I failed to see one hand was in…one hand was out
And while the superficial work was clear to see
The other hand…inside…was changing…changing me

Clay jars Lord…once self-filled to the brim
Reflect the treasure-splendour of Christ’s life within
Clay jars Lord…rough and unpretentious…stark
Grace-formed…reveal…the Master Potter’s Mark
