Only Clay (God Is The Potter) | Africa Sings for Jesus

Описание: Africa Sings for Jesus is a vibrant global music project celebrating the joy and truth of the Gospel through the powerful, rhythmic sounds of Afro-gospel. We create anthems that unite listeners across nations.

🔴 ABOUT THE SONG:
"Only Clay (God Is The Potter)" is a powerful Afro-orchestral anthem based on the stark truth of Isaiah 29:16. In a world that shouts "I did it myself!", this song is a bold declaration of our true state: we are merely clay in the hands of the Divine Potter. It confronts human pride and self-sufficiency, reminding us that every breath is a gift from our Creator. With driving African rhythms and a majestic orchestra, this song calls for humility, surrender, and trust in the Master's hands.

📜 LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
The world is shouting with a proud and boastful voice:
"We built it all ourselves! We made our own choice!
I am my own master! I am my own lord!
I'll write my own story with my own bright sword!"
Humanity believes it is the mighty architect
Forgetting who the Father is, the Source of all respect
We build our towers high, they're scraping at the sky
Rejecting the Provider, as our own dreams we glorify!

[Pre-Chorus]
But one truth stands so simple, and it will remain:
Without the Living God, we are just simple CLAY.

[Chorus]
WE ARE ONLY CLAY! AND GOD IS THE POTTER!
Every breath we have is His beloved offer!
Does the pot say to its Maker: "You did not form me!"?
What a blind deception for a human heart to see!
What foolish pride, what a distorted view —
To put the clay where the Creator is due!
(He is the Potter! We are the clay!)

[Verse 2]
We try to live our lives alone, to walk without His hand
We stumble proudly forward through this dark and foreign land
We try to shape our happiness from dust of the below
But without God Almighty, nothing real can grow!
All of our attempts are empty, void and without worth
They carry no true substance in this journey on the earth
For a creation cannot live without its Master's care
It needs the One who formed it, the One who placed it there!

[Bridge]
STOP now, human! Bow down and SEE!
We need the Potter! We need His Majesty!
TRUST in the Hands that know you best!
Only in His grip will your soul find rest!
(We need the Potter! Oh!)

[Chorus]
WE ARE ONLY CLAY! AND GOD IS THE POTTER!
Every breath we have is His beloved offer!
Does the pot say to its Maker: "You did not form me!"?
What a blind deception for a human heart to see!
What foolish pride, what a distorted view —
To put the clay where the Creator is due!
(He is the Potter! We are the clay! Yes!)

[Outro]
We... are God's clay.
The Lord... is our Potter.
Amen.
