Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour (The Potter’s Hand) SNS 1/4

This is a Darlene Zschech song from the Source: New Songs 1 that actually has a liturgical use.  When I used it some years ago to match the readings, I wondered why everyone had so much trouble with the timings and now looking at it again, it is rather a difficult song to get the rhythm just right in places.  Nonetheless, it isn’t a bad song at all and probably will reward the work needed to get it up an running.  You can hear it in all of its Hillsongness here.  I note in this version she omits the first verse in the repeat. My version is more basic P&W as I don’t have the over top brass section and I follow the music I’ve got with a full repeat.

Verse 1 :
Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure
All of my days are held in your hands
Crafted into
Your perfect plan

Verse 2 :
You gently call me into your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life
Through Your eyes

Bridge :
I’m captured by
Your holy calling
Set me apart,
I know you’re drawing me to yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Chorus:
Take me, mould me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter’s hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter’s hand

Rpt entire song
