When the Potter gathers up the broken pieces,
(Yes my Lord) Of a vessel which He wishes to mend and to build again,
He doesn't put it back together, just like a puzzle, my Lord knows,
On the Potters wheel He molds me again.
Lord don't let me see the way I used to be
Remove the scars that follow the pain
The wounds of my shame, bind them up, in your great name
Take them all into your forgetting sea
Take away all the strife that follow the wasted life
Try to build upon the dust of the foolish dream
Down the corridor of time somewhere in the corner of my mind
And if all the world should recall, don't let me see.
As I sift among the ashes of the bridges,
That I burn on my way back to you, my Lord.
Don't let me find a single thing, among the ruins,
Which will bring to my mind, the things I used to do,
The things I used to say, the things I used to be.
Help me Lord, help me Jesus.
On my way, in this world, as I tell people that I am saved,
As I tell them about the power Jesus,
As I tell them that you change my life,
They don't believe, they look at all the things,
which i used to do, and refer and remember and bring back
They mock me, they despise me, they hate me, they disappoint me,
But lord, as all that is happening,
Help me to not hear it, let me not see it,
Let me see you Jesus calling me,
As all the world, the whole world recalls, remembers
What I used to be, don't let me see.
Sing it children! Sing it children! Sing it children!
One more time.
Lord don't let me see the way I used to be
Remove the scars that follow the pain,
The wounds of my shame, bind them up, in your great name
Cast them all into your forgetting sea.
Take away all the strife (take away all the strife from my heart),
that follow the wasted life, (of wasted time, of wasted location)
Try to build upon the dust of the foolish dream
Down the corridor of time somewhere in the corner of my mind
And if all the world should recall, don't let me see.
When the whole world remembers.
And if all the world should recall, don't let me see.
(Help me one more time Lord)
And if all the world should recall, don't let me see.
Don't let me see.
