"I am the potter, you are the clay" - songs

[KagomeShuko]

I've found a few songs with this theme. I have a one I know called "Change My Heart, Oh God." I probably really have tons of them on all the CDs I've got, but I'm just a bit(?) stressed right now, and could just use any input if you know of any songs with this theme. I might have them. . .but I'd like to have a CD with songs with this theme or at least themes that related to the activities I have planned:

Anyway, this year's theme is "I am the potter, you are the clay" from Isaiah 64:8.

I would really like to have a speaker who would speak for just about 5 to 10 minutes.

I finally got three activities so people could sculpt things. I was inspired last night while searching.

One of them is that there will be mirrors because we are made in His image, so it is to sculpt yourself.

Another one is just clay, how God creates something (whatever they want) out of seemingly nothing (just lumps of clay).

The last is how God forgives our sins. I need to find something big that can be put into the clay and easily taken out of the clay, as these can represent our forgiven sins and we can see the clean clay, and that's how God sees us.

I know of one called "Abba, Father" that contains the line "You are the potter, we are the clay, the work of Your hands". It's probably taken from the same scripture reading.

Yes, Abba Father is also on John Michael Talbot's newest CD, City of God.

The lyrics are:

Refrain: Abba, Abba Father, You are the potter,
We are the clay, the work of Your hands.

1. Mold us, mold us and fashion us.
Into the image of Jesus Your Son, of Jesus Your Son.

2. Father may we be one in You.
May we be on in You, as He is in You and You are in Him

3. Glory, Glory and praise to You,
Glory, and praise to You, forever Amen, forever Amen.

Refrain: Abba, Abba Father, You are the potter,
We are the clay, the work of Your hands.

I am getting rid of all my old Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman et. al. CDs and tapes. I can't listen to any of their music any more without grimacing about the theology present or not present in the lyrics.

Caedmon's Call
"Hands Of The Potter"

Lord if i'm the clay
Then i've been left out in the sun
Cracked and dry, like the mud from the sty
Still clinging to the prodigal son

But I'm on my way back home
Yes I'm on my way back home

Into the hands (into the hands)
That made wine (wine) from the water
Into the hands (into the hands)
The hands of the potter

Lord if i'm the clay then
Let your living water flow
Soften up my edges, lord,
So everyone will know

But i'm on my way back home
Yes i'm on my way back home

And Lord, when you listen for the song of my life
Let it be, let it be, a song so sweet
Let it be, let it be, a song so sweet
Let it be...

Lord, if i'm the clay then lay me down
On your spinning wheel
Shape me into something you can fill
With something real

And I'll be on my way back home
Yes i'm on my way back home
