This Jar of Clay

Inspired by John 2:1-11 and 2 Corinthians 4:7.

'But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.' 2 Corinthians 4:7

This jar of clay
A lowly, breakable vessel
What weakness on display
Too unworthy to behold

This jar of clay
A fragile little cup
Seldom does it overflow
With Heaven's steadfast love

This jar of clay
An insignificant vessel
Seemingly too simple
Far from the precious Pearl

This jar of clay
Is not its own
He surrendered his soul
To the Potter to mould

This jar of clay
Fill it to the brim
When it is overflowing
Once more life will spring

This jar of clay
It is simply I
How cracked and fallen
Hopeless & almost beaten

This jar of clay
Nothing worth a penny
Little did I realize
Someone did look upon me

Ah, so here is the miracle
The Saviour saved my soul!
So I chose to fill my vessel
With His love right to the full.

'But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.' 2 Corinthians 4:7
