Jar of clay

Jar of clay Lyrics

(Michael Reynolds)


Children do not weep for me

When you hear I'm dead and gone

In the Savior's arms I'll be

Just a like I told you all along

When my soul leaves this earth

And you go to put me in the ground

Dig a place out of the dirt

Say a prayer and lay my body down


Make my coffin straight and long

With wood that rots and nails that rust

Oh when my spirit's gone

Let this jar of clay return to dust


So do not seal me in a vault

Or buy a tomb to lay me in

Flesh and bone were meant to rot

And I go back to the earth again


Make my coffin straight and long

With wood that rots and nails that rust

Oh when my spirit's gone

Let this jar of clay return to dust


Oh make my coffin straight and long

With wood that rots and nails that rust

Oh when my spirit's gone

Let this jar of clay return to dust

Let this jar of clay return to dust

Let this jar of clay return to dust
