My Song

The story behind my poem is very special to me because the Lord asked me to write it. I'm from the Amish culture, and as the Lord opened my eyes to receive Him as my Savior, I now want to share my testimony with others. He has changed my perspective and made a new piece of pottery out of me. Though I was broken, now Jesus can shine through my being, and I can tell the world of His love and what He has done for me.
You first spoke to me, Jesus,
A little girl, bonnet and shawl.
Though you showed me your love,
With veil before my eyes, I couldn't see
Through the storms of life
The broken pieces burned to ashes.
The tears from my heart
Put them together again, Lord.
You are the potter, Lord.
Mold me again.
Make something beautiful, Lord,
A new creation in you.
Tear down the strong holds;
Set the captives free;
Make me a shining light
For the blind to see.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit;
Light the candle within me;
Shine through me, Jesus,
For you have called me.
Make me your tabernacle;
Light the candle within me
To be used for your glory, Lord,
For all the world to see.
May you be exalted, Lord,
Through this vessel you have freed;
Through your precious blood
We will celebrate your victory.
