The Potter

Timothy Lamar McKinley 1958 (Birmingham AL)



To The Lord

The Lord is the Potter I am the clay.
What will you make me this fine day?

The struggle is long but I fear not defeat.
Continue the battle 'til victory complete.

Today I was thankful tomorrow a test.
Please Lord please I'll do my best.

Lead me the way by your right hand.
Lead me on to the Promise Land.
