Molding the Maker

“Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about… Thou hast made me as the clay… Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.  Thou hast granted me life” (Job 10:8-12).  “Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither… regard it.  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall He not hear?  He that formed the eye, shall He not see?... The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity” (Psalm 94:7-11).  “Turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein” (Acts 14:15). 

The Lord has fashioned us as clay

With skin and sinews, flesh and bone,  

Yet there are those who vainly say

That man was made by chance alone.

Now how can thinking be so vain,

And how can truth be so ignored

When all the evidence is plain

That we were fashioned by the Lord?

Still others say that God is there,

But He shall neither see nor hear.

They mold a god who does not care,

An idol that they need not fear.

The gods they fashion in their mind

Suppress the truth that they resist,

Attributing what God designed

To idols that do not exist.

Are we the clay that molds the Potter?

Is not this pure insanity?

Has chance designed life-giving water?

The thoughts of man are vanity!

Their vanity is so bizarre!

Shall not we count this logic flawed

That will not view things as they are,

The proof that manifests our God?

O Lord, the God the of all creation,

We thank You that You have refuted

The vain and false imagination

Of those who mold a maker muted.

O send us, Lord, that we may reach

As many as will humbly turn

From vanities, so we may teach

The Gospel You would have them learn!
