I have sinned again
And proven myself as nothing more than dust
Which You take and make clay 
To squash and to fashion, 
Discipline and shape
Take this clay 
Make it pure and full of grace
Cause Your dust to praise

Still, I’m faint, afraid
Of meeting the call from my God, my All
So give strength to these legs
That wobble and wander 
Though Your path is straight
Take this clay 
Make it firm and full of grace
Cause Your dust to praise

Still deprived of sight
To name and to savor every good endeavor
Of Your hand in this land:
Faulty and fractured but 
Beautiful and blessed
Take this clay 
Make its eyes to see Your grace
Cause Your dust to praise
