Hand Made

Created in the image of the Holy One

We're conformed into His likeness until all is said and done

Crafted from the dust and formed like pots of clay

By the strong right hand of Yahweh we are hand made.

We are vessels for the glory that you place in us to bear

We are living tabernacles for the presence you place there

We're a temple for your Spirit and we long to serve you well

To show the world the radiance of a life in which you dwell.

Mirror of our souls reflect the living light

Eyes of our hearts open to behold the sight

Lord fit our tabernacle for the service you desire

Form these living stones into an altar for your fire.

For the mirror reflects your glory And the heart's eyes see you shine

You fill the temple with your radiance And your light renews our minds

We're partakers of your presence We're transformed as there we stand

Laid bare before your holiness Clothed in raiment made by your holy hand

Dressed for service in your court oh Lord Your wish is our command.
