From the recording Sparrow
The words of God are powerful and true. Setting God's words to music is an age-old art form many hearts before mine have practiced. These snippets of God's whispers to the prophet Isaiah put new strength into my soul, and remind me I am known. I am called by name.
Lyrics
I'm just the shape, you are the substance
I'm the clay pot, you are the oil
I am the lantern, you are the light
Shine out through me into the night
I'm alabaster, you're the perfume
Break me wide open so your scent fills the room
I am the kite, you are the wind
Blow into me, I'll go where you send
For thus says the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth
I will not leave, I will not leave you alone
So do not fear, for what can man do to you?
Be of good courage
I will be with you
wherever you go
I'm just the shape, you are the substance
I'm the clay pot, you are the oil
I am the kite, you are the wind
Blow into me, I'll go where you send
For thus says the Lord, who knows each star by name
I am the Potter, and you are the clay
So do not fear, for I have called you by name
I am your Keeper
I hold your right hand
wherever you go
Who am I to say to the one who made me
"Your plan looks crazy"?
If I'm only clay, then the one who made me
has the right to use me
So shine out through me into the night
Break me wide open so your scent fills the room
Blow into me, I am your kite
I'll go where you send me
I know you'll be with me
wherever I go
