Canvas And Clay

The song “Canvas and Clay” by Pat Barrett is a beautiful reminder of the love and care that God has for us. The lyrics remind us that God formed us in our mother’s womb and knew us before we even took a breath. He is an artist and a potter, and we are the canvas and the clay. 

The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:13-14, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” God created us with love and care, and He knows us better than we know ourselves. 

The song also reminds us that God makes all things work together for our future and our good. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” No matter what we go through, God is always working for our good. 

The song also reminds us that nothing has been wasted. God can take our mistakes and failures and use them for His glory. Isaiah 64:8 says, “Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” God can take our broken pieces and turn them into something beautiful. 

The song ends with the reminder that God is not finished with us yet. He is still working in us and through us. Philippians 1:6 says, “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” God is still working in us and will continue to do so until the day of Christ. 

Let us remember that God is an artist and a potter, and we are the canvas and the clay. He loves us and cares for us, and He will never give up on us. He is still working in us and through us, and He will never stop until the day of Christ.
