Lord work now within me, I humbly do pray;
    Father change my heart, make me whole today
I am but a vessel, of miry mud made,
    But You are the potter, deserving fine clay.

You sought me and found me, now work deep within
    To fix all the cracks and start over again.
I’m broken in shards now, all shattered and lost
    Come find all the pieces You bought with great cost.

Lord take this pot broken, now take me as thine;
    Place me in Your fire Lord, with Your hands refine.
I’m battered and broken, all worthless on earth,
    Now make me a vessel of value and worth.

Together, now glue me, with bonds of Your love,
    Reshape me to match to your pattern above.
Protect me and shield me from tempests around,
    Where sin was triumphant, make grace now abound.
