Lord, Thou art a potter skilled
And a glorious builder too,
Molding for Thy vessel great,
Building with Thy house in view.
I am both a man of clay
And a new-made living stone,
That Thy vessel I may be
And the temple Thou wouldst own.

Though of clay Thou madest us,
Thou wouldst have us be transformed;
With Thy life as purest gold,
Unto precious stones conformed.
We shall, through Thy building work,
Then become Thy loving Bride,
In one Body joined to Thee,
That Thy heart be satisfied.

What Thy heart desires and loves
Are not precious stones alone,
But together these to build
For Thy glory, for Thy home.
Thou, the all-inclusive Christ,
Dost a builded Church require,
That Thy glorious riches may
Radiate their light entire.

Not the person spiritual
In an individual way,
But the corporate life expressed
Will Thy heart’s desire display.
Members separate and detached
Ne’er express Thee perfectly,
But Thy Body tempered, built,
Ever shall Thy fulness be.

Build me, Lord, with other saints,
Independence ne’er allow,
But according to Thy plan
Fitly frame and join me now.
In experience not my boast,
Nor in gifts would be my pride;
For Thy building I give all,
That Thou may be glorified.

I believe the Lord's Recovery has reached a new stage. Many dear saints from various countries over the entire globe have had this aspiration for many years, including me and the saints laboring together with me.
All the labor, for which our brother Watchman Nee and his co-worker brother Witness Lee and other co-workers throughout the the New Testament age is bearing intensified fruition over the entire globe! Amen, Lord Jesus!

Lord You desire a builded church. Make us members of this builded church! Build us up with other saints!

Lord, You require a builded church. Make us buildable material to satisfy Your heart's desire. Remove any effort to be independent from You. Lord, we desire to be built up together.

Although we were just made out of clay, our destiny is to be precious stones built together. More building this year!

Lord, for Your building I give my all. Lord, make me willing to allow You to deal with my independence and individualism, so that I can be built up with all the saints, according to Your plan, for Your glory.
Amen to God’s desire for the builded church & amen to the comments from around the world.

“Members separate and detached Ne’er express Thee perfectly” My prayer is that as I pass thru difficult health situations, that I would have the view of the building... The Lord doesn’t just want transformation for my own spiritual growth. He desires a builded Church. My little light is not enough. He needs not precious stones alone but “builded stones to radiate their light entire”.
