THE POTTER AND THE CLAY - (Jeremiah 18:1-6) - Hymns: "Potters Hand" & "Have Thine Own Way Lord"

Jeremiah 18
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Potter and the Clay

18 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: ² “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” ³ Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. ⁴ And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

⁵ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ⁶ “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! ⁷ The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, ⁸ if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. ⁹ And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, ¹⁰ if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

¹¹ “Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.”’”

Isaiah 64:8

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

8  But now, O Lord, You are our Father;

 we are the clay, and You our potter;

and all we are the work of Your hand.

THEREFORE, 

The Lord is the Potter 

and we are the Clay

ú English

1. Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

2. Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

3. Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

4. Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit ’till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

1. Cúmplase, oh Cristo, tu voluntad.
Sólo tú puedes mi alma salvar.
Cual alfarero, para tu honor
Vasija útil hazme, Señor.

2. Cúmplase, oh Cristo, tu voluntad
Quita de mi alma toda maldad.
Cual blanca nieve hazla fulgir,
Y fiel y humilde hazme vivir.

3. Cúmplase, oh Cristo, tu voluntad.
Toda dolencia puedes sanar;
Cuitas, pesares, con tu poder
Quieres hacerlos desvanecer

4. Cúmplase, oh Cristo, tu voluntad.
Mora en mi alma, dale tu paz,
Para que el mundo vea tu amor,
Tu obra perfecta, oh buen Salvador.

1. Bën ti ç’të duash, o Perëndi.
Unë jam veç ena, mjeshtri je ti.
Një krijes’ të re, Zot, bëj ti nga unë,
Gjersa po t’pres ty k’tu, Zot, në gjunjë.

2. Bën ti ç’të duash, o Zoti im.
Zemrën provoje, bëj hulumtim.
Borë e bardh’ tani më lan mua;
Plot’sisht në ty jam i dorëzuar.

3. Bën ti ç’të duash, o Zot Mesi.
Për t’më ndryshuar ti ke fuqi.
Te kush qëndron një forcë si kjo?
Eja, më prek dhe mua më shëro.

4. Bën ti ç’të duash, o Zot Jezus.
Më Frymën tënde mua më mbush.
Që t’më drejtojë më duhet aq shumë
Që ta shohë gjithkush Zotin tek unë.

Faze-me pronto para lutar,
para a vitória sempre alcançar.
