He took a broken vessel
All shattered beyond repair.
Swept up all the pieces
It was time to do His share.
He collected it so carefully,
Every speck of dust he took.
He had a vision of the newness
How magnificent it would look.
He added a drop of water,
And began to mix and stir,
For out of all these fragments
A newness would occur.
And He formed a brand new vessel
As only the Master Potter can,
For He saw all along,
The perfect in His plan.
So when everything seems broken,
It’s in Him we can trust.
For He’s the only one,
To create anew from simple dust.
