An Uninformed Joy - Palm Sunday, Fr Anthony Paul

Lyrics:

R: Oh you oh great Potter
I'm like the clay between your hands
Come create in me a new vessel 
That is pleasing before your eyes 

I give myself to you freely 
To your fingers that fashion me
I will not grieve nor relent 
I long you for you to work in me 

I come to you with all my vices
I trust in your grace and hand
My heart now I devote to you
Not to my despair nor my past

Oh You Oh Great Potter

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
