Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Believers are saved because Jesus took the shapeless, dead clay of our lives in His loving, powerful hands and molded us into something new for His glory. 

With loving care and infinite skill, God shaped us by His grace and wrote His love into our lives. 2 Cor. 5:5.

Have Thine Own Way,Lord

_______________________

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!    —    Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.    —    Mold me and make me after Thy will,    —    While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!    —    Search me and try me, Master, today!    —    Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,    —    As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!  —  Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!    —    Power, all power, surely is Thine!    —    Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!    —    Hold o’er my being absolute sway! — Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see — Christ only, always, living in me.
