I like this song so much. Took the words right out of my mouth. It's not easy to walk where HE walked, it's aday to day struggle but I am willing. So Lord, please be with me as I try my best to do your will.

Christians!!!!!!....no need to DEBATE......

Isaiah 64:8 "Yet, O, Lord, You are our Father. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."

[kitdulceful]

Christians!!!!!!....no need to DEBATE....

Isaiah 64:8 "Yet, O, Lord, You are our Father. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

[donttry2catchme19]

@@freetube1to1 I beleive that we do give our life because we are following the lord and we endure it the best way possible I fell in love with this song at my church and that's why I also beleive that we give our hearts to the lord.

[archidexterous20]

One of the best worship song ever written..

[jimdavis081]

The song is indeed Christian. No need to put bible verses from the holy scriptures because the key message of this song is on how we surrender our lives to HIM and start living in HIS will and by HIS grace.

[darklyasnight]

This song, I just listened to for the first time, and it was what I needed. I'm going through a hard time in my life, and I listened to it, and I could feel God comforting me.

[akockae]

I give my life...to the POTTER's hand <3

[leesah174]

HE DIED FOR YOU ! SO WHY NOT LIVE FOR HIM ? think about it ! 

[destiny4589]

why is there a dislike this song shouldn't be dislike all the songs that are for God should be appreciated!

[freetube1to1]

Without me ye can do nothing, [John 15:5] - So who then gives ?

[ginsumaster]

@freetube1to1 John 15:5 (ESV): I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I agree.

"The Potter's Hand" talks about our submission (abiding in me) as a requirement to bearing fruit and being saved for that matter.

[freetube1to1]

@ginsumaster God doesn't add us to the vine unless we are saved, - we do not need to remain in the vine to be saved, we remain because of our love not duty reward, nor favor, ( the second mile)

We do not do anything to be saved, all the glory belongs to God alone Eph 2:8,9 - Rom 4:5 - Rom 11:6.

The Father picks us the bride for Jesus the Bridegroom, we don't choose,

The Church is a virgin "espoused or betrothed" to Jesus - 2 Cor 11:2, and will become His heavenly "bride" in Rev 21:2 & 9.

[ljpace1]

Awesome

[duveyes75]

Any one who thinks this song is just not christian is a moron.... every one has a free will!

[christine0169958781]

This song im gonna sing in church for GOD

[viicki48]

his strength is perfect and always be



[TheMiszundastood]

He understands me more than anybody else. He took me from the darkness. He courted me, even after I refused to accept His love a thousand times. He's the greatest suitor I ever had, He never left me even after i turned my back on Him a million time. From now on, i put everything in His hands, for He knows what's best for me. Thanks for loving me always my Lord, I LOVE YOU!

[88yp88yp]

Absolutely beautiful! My church choir sang a similar song (in Chinese) recently too! Welcome to my channel! Greetings from Hong Kong, China!

[snorlax2008]

lord fill us with ur FIRE in our hearts! we need u ! i love u so much lord!!!

[WintersweetPhoenix]

God may have created my life - but I can decide whether to give my life to Him or not. That is what the song is saying. He gave us choice, and the song is showing our choice to give our lives to Him - to guide us and use us.

Why are there atheists?! Because they don't decided not to give their life to Him.

The song makes perfect sense, and I love it!

[kah2030]

@WintersweetPhoenix yep. atheists don't make sense, their religion, if that's what you want to call it, doesn't believe in God so how can you hate him if you don't believe in him?

[loraw1960]

this song saved my life

[sylviaimora]

@loraw1960 gods grace...amen...good luck 2 u

[sylviaimora]

i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv this soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aneong89]

use me Lord God.... and guide me always... i want to be with you forever

[nonoytorino]

BEST PRAISE SONG....

[freetube1to1]

@krnxlazyxboy You study and seek perfection in all things, there you will see God !. God bless you continually !

[CrazeeJCK23]

All the song is saying is that I put everything Lord into your capable hands. My life is yours lord I will serve you I will follow you Lord. You're the potter make me the way you want me to be Lord.

[CapnCrunch66]

Freetube..with all due respect and love I wonder if you believe Jesus was able to make the blind man see, for your benefit. Open your eyes and heart, un jaded and un clouded by your misgivings and you will see. This song is truely praising the lord and offering ones life to his service. Have you done that? Again, with love I ask

[sneaky6289]

Who is so stupid not to like this!!! ONLY the devil.

[vinodrums]

today is my birthday...God created me....i just wanna give him thanks!!!!

[Stumperx]

Yes Darlene is a big Harry Potter fan and wrote this song to honor him.

[trueutopian]

This song is so beautiful! Its expresses true surrender to the will of God in our lives. For me, it's about obedience an free will (I do not think God forces us to do anything I believe he is a God of choice).Like the clay we remain guided & pliable in the Potters hand knowing that he knows how to produce vessels of honour that will please & glorify him. Adam & Eve chose to disobey. Surely, God had power over the clay then, also he allowed them freewill. So we Let Go & Let God but do we always?

[freetube1to1]

Nice song, but where in Scripture are we the givers ?,, Is God not the one who gives and we receive ?,, "I give my life to the potters hand" = I don't think so, very misleading to people whom are seeking a relationship with the Lord, the scripture tells the reader very plainly -- "Hath not the potter power over the clay" ?, (Rom 9:21) so does the clay have the power over the potter ? . God gives life, = we receive it !,, the lyrics are not Christian !

[ginsumaster]

@freetube1to1 Very good point. I myself am a 5 point Calvinist. On the surface, this song seems to contradict Rom 9:21. Yes, God is the potter; we are the clay. Who can resist God (or even choose Him). In fact, 2 Thess 2:13-14 says that God chooses us -- not the other way around.

Nevertheless, there are some scriptures which focus on man's small and limited role in sanctification (not salvation). James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

[freetube1to1]

@ginsumaster Thanks for your comments !, let's look at Heb 10:14 "For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. = we are once made perfect and no need to add to it,

James 4:7 tells the reader the benefits of resisting the Devil, and to allow the will of the father to be our power .

We cannot add to the eternal perfection provided by God, = Eccl 3:14 "...whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it........" -

May God bless

[abituringan]

@ginsumaster : do we really understand the message of the song?sometimes people can see the lyrics thru worldly meaning. It's like a parable, sometimes you don't understand what it means until you make thorough study. It's far from romans verse that you are talking about my brothers/sisters... God Bless you....

[ginsumaster]

@abituringan I beg to differ -- I believe the Romans passage is relevant -- in fact I interpret the whole book of Romans as pointing to God's sovereignty and man's depravity. Didn't John the Baptist say, "He (Jesus) must increase and I must decrease." ?

Too much of today's greasy grace churches preach, "I must increase in order for others to see God's (and my) glory."

I do believe that a song (or Scripture for that matter ) means only as much as one has lived it.

[pappaortez]

@ginsumaster seems to me you dont really undrstand what this song is actually saying .God is the potter we must allow him to mold us and make us .Once we come to Christ we need to be lead by the Holy Spirit which will draw us closer to God. God leads us never forces us.The song is saying that once we come to Christ we should allow Him full control of our lives "who soever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved "

[nwsaboy]

@ginsumaster also John 15:5 where he talks about the conditional of "man remains in me and i remain in him"

[WintersweetPhoenix]

@freetube1to1

Yes God does give life, but we can turn away away from Him and ignore His love and what He has done for us. The song is showing how Christians live for God and give back everything to Him. We give Him our life to lead the way He wants it.

There are so many people who just ignore God and go off living life how they see fit.

[fjdf71]

@freetube1to1

Although your point is valid, I think you are failing to realize what this song meant when it said "I give my life to the potter's hand." When God created humanity, he gave us free will. In fact, we are the only creatures on the face of the planet with the decision to act for ourselves. We can choose to love Christ as our savior or reject him. By accepting his gift of salvation (accepting what he gives which makes your point valid), we are giving our lives to the potter's (God's)

[freetube1to1]

@fjdf71 Interesting, but not as I see it, can you see any free will in these scriptures ?

Prov 16:7 God can even make our enemies to be at peace with us

Rom 13:1 - Dan 4:35 - Prov 21:1

Isa 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely AS I HAVE THOUGHT, SO SHALL IT COME TO PASS; AND AS I HAVE PURPOSED, [SO] SHALL IT STAND.

Prov 16:4 THE LORD HATH MADE ALL [THINGS] FOR HIMSELF: YEA, EVEN THE WICKED FOR THE DAY OF EVIL.

REE will,- when it fits His purposes.

Isa 45:7 makes peace and evil

[fjdf71]

@freetube1to1

which means he knows all. Him knowing the future doesnt mean he made your decisions. He just knew you would or would not be saved. But you chose it. Free will is real, and its our decision. If not then sin wouldnt exist. God did not intend sin for humanity. But he uses peoples mistakes and repentance for his own will and glory as seen in the story of Joseph and as you stated with proverbs. He made them, they sinned and he used them for his will "the day of evil."

Sin is obviously

[freetube1to1]

@fjdf71 Eph 1:11 The Scripture states that God either causes or consciously and purposefully allows every action and reaction in His Perfect Plan. God is NOT the author of sin, but God allows sin to occur from human and angelic volition, when it fits His purposes. The Scriptures teach that God is in complete control of His creation and that no action can occur, from Satan or man, unless it fits God's perfect will and plan.

[fjdf71]

@freetube1to1

not God's purpose, yet it was still free will of mankind to do it; contradicting your point that free will is only allowable when it fits his purposes.

[deslatteable]

@freetube1to1 Do we have to put a label on something, such as christian, in order to be viewed as spirtual? This song is saying..."Oh Father, I want you to be in control because I cant do anything myself...I want to live for you...Tell me what you want me to do & i will do it..." I mean, how beautiful is that?? Arent we all suppose to lay it all down, give it to the Almighty? And just because its spoken in a differnt manner than you are use to, why put it down? Why not see it for its beauty??

[CrazeeJCK23]

All though I understand your point, I can understand what the writer of this beautiful song is saying. You see God as the Potter molds us and makes us he gives us life so we give it back to him. When we ask God to forgive us of our sins that is our way of saying Lord my life is yours. Lead me Lord, show me the way let me live my life as you want me to. That is how we're giving our life back to him is when God sends his son Jesus back to get us our live is his to recieve and be welcomed in heaven

[freetube1to1]

@CrazeeJCK23 We never give for salvation purposes, this includes "repenting of sin", we repent meaning "a change of mind", our minds are changed about who Jesus" is as Peter was told by Jesus in Matt 16:18, once this happens we are given grace through faith, Eph 2:8, nothing to do with anything else,

once in our new life our eyes are open just like Adam and Eve, we then go the extra mile out of love, not favour duty or reward, just love, because we know !

[genesissambrano]

@freetube1to1 the words "I GIVE MY LIFE TO THE POTTERS HAND" is like

"I DEPEND MY LIFE IN YOU LORD, BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU I'AM NOTHING"

Philippians 1:21 to live is christ and to die is gain.

[grey033]

@freetube1to1 but can't we ask God of what we want through prayer? If we ask Him to take us and mold us...surrendering our lives entirely to His will...will he not give us of what we ask?We do do not have power over Him but we can give ourselves to Him as we should

[tweeked00]

@freetube1to1 i think when she sais "i give my life to the potters hand" shes referring to the choice we have to live our lives in sin or live our lives for jesus, therefore giving her life to god is her choice, im not disputing the fact that god is the giver of our lives, but accepting jesus in our lives is a choice left up to us so when she sings that lyric i believe the message is that shes giving up the sinners life and giving and choosing to live for jesus

[yourstrulymindy]

@freetube1to1 God chooses - but not all that are chosen submit, this song is about someone hearing the call of God and submitting to be changed by His hand which can only be done if the person being called is 'willing' because God will not force his will on anyone ..Jesus said "if u love me you will keep my commandments" we can be called and refuse to be molded by His hand..and not be changed.. this song is perfectly Christian to those who understand and are called for His purpose..

[duveyes75]

@freetube1to1 your a moron....every one has a free will!

[freetube1to1]

@duveyes75 Yeah ? Sounds satanic Mormon to me, - the scriptures teach that we all have free will when it suits Gods plan and purpose. ;-) now you have a nice day and watch the roads when crossing.

[BarbieOnAcidKAT]

@freetube1to1 By the way of free will, I will say only that I feel this song is perfect. Our lives have been given with our free will and our lives are to be willingly given to the Lord our God. That is only my feeling on the matter but I feel that it is unkind and thieving of the joy and purity of the song to say the lyrics are not Christian.

[freetube1to1]

@BarbieOnAcidKAT @BarbieOnAcidKAT "free will" ?.. Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the PURPOSE of HIM WHO WORKETH ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNSEL (boule = decree) OF HIS OWN WILL (thelo = desires). God's DECREE, what He has stated will happen throughout, arises from His DESIRES. What God has decreed is what God has desired from His WILL,

= God causes every action and reaction in His Plan. God is NOT the author of sin, but allows it to occur

[fashionixzta]

@freetube1to1

I get your point about what you said here.. but I believe that the song actually meant that the listener or the one who sings this should bring back his/her faith to the Lord. Yes, God is the one who gives life but here in this song It tells you to surrender yourself unto God because we all know, many souls have turn their backs unto the Lord. as the said in James 4:7 so " I give my life to the potter's hand" means submmiting yourself unto God. :)

[analepiten]

@freetube1to1

The line " I give my life to the Potters Hand" means you are surrendering your life to the Potters Hand. It needs better and lighter understanding.

[chasofreak]

@freetube1to1

i think this song's just about submission, and surrending our lives to God once again! to declare that we need him!

"take me mold me use me fill me" its about crying out to God to use us and that we're placing our lives on the Altars for God =D, just like "giving our lives to the Potter's hand" to allow him to work his wonders through us!

[bsutherland64]

@freetube1to1 : Yes, God is the potter, we are the clay, but you're missing the point. God is a Gentleman, He will never force himself on anyone. The giving also has to come from you, as a willing servant to Him, His will and His kingdom. God bless you as you seek His Way.

[butterflynat89]

You're right God gave his life through Jesus but We also give our life to God when we accept Jesus in our life, in our heart. We weren't born christians, God gives us the choice to accept him. If you believe in God, you have accepted to give your life, to abandon yourself to God, isn't it?

[butterflynat89]

@freetube1to1 So telling that this song is not christian is completly false.

Our relationship with God is not in one sense, but both senses: God gave us life by creating us and we accept God in our heart and we give Him our life in order to serve God and bring Him praise. It is a worship song, Read the lyrics carefuly:

[butterflynat89]

@freetube1to1 It is right God gave his life but we weren't born christians. God let us the choice to accept Him in our life. Yes God gave His life to save us but when we say "I give you my life", it means that when we accept Jesus, we accept to give Him our life, we accept Him in our heart.

This song talks about asking God to use us in order to serve Him, we want to worship God by bringing Him like a gift/ a sacrifice our life, our soul.

[butterflynat89]

[MustaffaCuppa]

@freetube1to1 God is the Potter, yes, but we have to be prepared to yield i.e. give ourselves willingly to be moulded by His hand. He will not force us to be changed.

[MykelElledge]

@freetube1to1 Yes he is the giver, and chooses us, but we have to CHOOSE to follow him, in doing so we are GIVING ourselves to him.

[MykelElledge]

@freetube1to1 Yes he is the giver, and chooses us, but we have to CHOOSE to follow him, in doing so we are GIVING ourselves to him.

[cassyndra]

@freetube1to1

'I give my life' here just means, 'I surrender myself to Him'

Nothing so un-Christian about it.

[shesheshe03]

@freetube1to1

the potter molds us into his perfect plan.and "giving" is SUBMISSION--to His will for us. a lot of people don't know how to Submit themselves..this song is all about that. Letting God take, mold, use, guide, etc our lives. =)

[2010ksaul]

@freetube1to1 come come now, the scriptures are filled with people commiting themselves or submitting to the power of the Almighty... and yes I too hold the doctrines of grace to be true.... but to say the lyrics are not Christian? seriously? Acts 7:59, Luke 23.46

[serge421UA]

bad audio quality...

[ginsumaster]

@serge421UA This song appears to be "bad" because it's a live recording -- not a studio recording. As a sound engineer myself, I consider the recording to be pretty good -- you would too.

[novemberlass186127]

@serge421UA pls...this is sacred and ...listen to the song and you would feel the presence of God as if you are right there in the congregation. Close your eyes, open your heart and let the message sink in.

[pinagpalanglubos]

Glory to the great potter who

This has got to be among my top-ten favorite songs we sing at my church. I can never get through it without crying! What a beautiful description of our relationship with God!

[Db60Dc19]

Amen to that! This brings me to tears every time! GOD is so awesome and I am so undeserving of all HE has done for me.

[zurielcarz09]

this song is do beautiful!

[AZun1899]

awsome!!

[charisenaval]

this is such a beautiful song...letss praise GOD...

[spiritualaccent]

we should not only embellish Jesus, but as lively stones & living epistles, its incumbent on us to represent Christ by living consecrated lives. only then can we proliferate the mind of Christ & the mind of His spirit to a lost & dying world- we have 3 primary reasons for being here in this world: 1)please God thru our yeilded hearts,actions in our lives, 2)show others that they can have the privledge of doing the same for God, 3)manifesting,expanding His kingdom thru holy consecration.

[truepowerbombking]

annointed, just awesome & brings clarity & perspective! We need to restore the 1ST & 2nd commandment and put a preemminence on these teachings. total submission to the Holy Ghost will unveil/unfold truth about who we are/what we were created to do-to bring God glory-manifesting his character thru our obedience to His Word & to the zeal & unction of His precious Holy Spirit. what a privledge & a sacred horor to serve a great & recious holy God.

[elvisfan1978]

beautiful song
