Re-Form (ation)

Today I post a lyric that came out of my devotions and preparations for another week of production on drivetimeworship.com's radio programs. Funny, I started my readings on my deck with an espresso and a few devotionals and quote books with my bible. No intentions of writing a song this morning.
But, God  "is" forever in the creation business, and He loves to do it, and refine it, in broken vessels..




Re-form

   This ole hunk of clay's been rolling for sometime
and by they way i'm feeling, 
it's been picken up chunks of dirt along the way.
Well I've been doing what I know, and knowing what I do.
And what I'm feeling is a loss of me to You.

  So take me in your hands, and break me at your feet
Soak me in the waters of Your mercy,  and the tears that soften me.
Throw me on the wheel and mould me in Your hands
and spin me into something only You could understand
So, what do you make of me, what do you see in me,
 what do You think, I AM

   I have painted this ole canvas way to many times
and by the way it's looking, I have brushed off
all the black and whites to grey
But I've been painting what I know, and painting what I see
and all I've done is nothing  without You in me.

   So take me in Your hands, and roll me at Your feet
 Strip away the layers of the darkness here that made this mess of me.
 Cover me in white as pure as driven snow
 and draw me into something that will keep me close to You
 So what do You make of me, What do You see in me,
 What to You think.. IAM

  Re-form this broken vessle,  Con-form this work of art
and turn whats left of me into what You wanted from the Start.
So what do You make of me, What do You see in me, 
What to You think.. IAM
