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.
