Please read -  my thoughts - "The Potter and the Clay"

On The Wheel!

Oh Lord, it seems that the spinning won't stop

and I just can't get focused at all

on the things of Your Spirit -

I'm groaning within

Lord, won't you please hear my call.

A moment of rest and then pressure begins

and I seem to be worse than before

I don't understand

What's going on?

Oh Lord, I can't take any more.

Another brief time of peaceful relief

the comfort refreshes me so

but I'm choked by the fumes

of the latest assault

Oh Lord, hold me tight, don't let go.

Enduring the last of the shaping I see

the end of this age drawing near

and I watch and I wait

in worship and praise

knowing soon my Lord will appear.
