I’m thankful that He sees in us what no one else sees; He alone ascribes to us great value because of the great price He paid for us. Written for the many unknown “throwaways.” This was written as a song while looking through the eyes of Jesus at a drunken man in a gutter In Times Square, NY. So many well-to-do folks just hurrying past. But most were just as lost as he.
The Potter’s wheel is turning, He has something in his hand.
Clay somebody’s discarded, it’s just a throwaway man.
Just a piece of flesh and bone, that never seemed to win.
Broken – in so many places, so overwhelmed by sin.
The Potter’s hands are bleeding, as he gently works the clay.
But sharp and broken pieces cut him anyway.
What does he see, in that wasted clay,
That we would have all thrown away?
If you had the eyes of the Potter, you would also see.
There’s no such thing as a throwaway man in the eyes of eternity.
Wait do, you see how it’s yielding to the touch of the Potter’s hand?
Do my eyes believe what they’re seeing, it looks like a brand-new man.
What does he see, in that wasted clay,
That we would have all thrown away
If you had the eyes of the Potter, you would also see.
There’s no such thing as a throwaway man in the eyes of eternity.
The Potter’s hands are bleeding, as he gently works the clay.
But sharp and broken pieces cut him anyway.
Wait do, you see how it’s yielding to the touch of the Potter’s hand?
Do my eyes believe what they’re seeing, it looks like a brand-new man.
Yes, it looks like a brand-new man.
This poem is in my poetry section but I felt the need to put it here today. I hope you enjoy it.
