“THE ‘POTTER’S’ WHEEL!”
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book # 4}
God puts us on the ‘Potter’s wheel’ *
& spins us round & round,
Until we are ‘complete’ in Him
with this ‘New Life’ that we’ve found.
Sometimes we get ‘dizzy’
& want to get off the rack,
But yet ~ we know He’s ‘doing
the right thing’ ~ so we go back.
Then one day we submit & ‘stay’
until His Work is done,
Then He puts us ‘in the fire’ *
& ‘bakes’ us ~ till we’re done.
Now we’re ready for ‘anything’ *
strong & mighty in JESUS CHRIST, *
For who can come & kill us *
without God’s Permission to ~
take our life! *
We are ‘willing’ now to die
for God has placed in us,
A ‘clean’ & ‘finished’ product
He can ‘use’ without a fuss! *
* Jer.18:3; Mal.3:2-3; 2 Tm.1:7-8; 2 Cor.10:4; Mt.10:28;
Job 2:6; 2 Tm.2:21. 1/26/98
