Chapter one

Jeremiah 18:1-6

1This word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3Then I went down to the potter house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 and the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, o house of Israel. (Jeremiah 18:1-6 KJV)

Chapter two

Daddy Can I Come Home

Daddy Can I Come Home

I looked and found

that I was alone.

And I realized that I

have lost my way home.

I lost the word that

was embedded in my heart.

And I see we are

separate and apart. 

I left the path that

you laid out for me.

And the woman of God

you called me to be

I took steps that you

did not ordain.

And I have drove my

own mind insane.

 I stepped out into

the world with a flame.

Now I lay dormant

like the sick and lame.

I left the coals of

the flames of my home.

And I stand here now

cold and alone.

I know and understand

that the fault is my own

That I’ve lost my way

home

I didn't pray when

the season was in and when it was out.

I removed prayer and

let my heart fill with doubt.

 I feel depressed and

ashamed.

Because I caused the

dying of my own flame

I turned out the

light that was made to shine.
