Lump of Clay

Guide my thoughts, O Lord, I pray.

Help me to seek Your will each day.

You know I have no cause for pride.

From You, my sins I cannot hide.

Though I am nothing, still You came,

And life will never be the same.

Lord, have mercy on me today,

for I am but a lump of clay.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Your grace and mercy from above

reached down to touch my heart with love.

Your mercy washed my sins away,

and love reshaped this lump of clay.

It’s not of me. I cannot boast.

I’m just a sinner, worse than most.

I have no cause for pride today,

for I am just a lump of clay.

~ ~ * ~ ~

There is a force that lives within.

He’s my Teacher, my God, and Friend.

He took the breath of life, one day,

and gave it to this lump of clay.

This body will return some day,

and be again a lump of clay.

By God’s own mercy I will leave,

and leave behind no cause to grieve.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Grieve not for me when I am gone,

for I will see a brand new dawn.

Let glory be to God on high

when I have taken wings to fly.

When I breathe out that final breath,

The one that takes me into death,

I’ll see a never-ending day,

and be no more… a lump of clay.
