Country-ish sounding song about His potters wheel and how we need to stay on it for Him to work with us.

Acoustic and Electric guitar with bass, canned keyboard rythym and vocals all mixed in by me.
Timberline isn't actually a band at this time as Timberline consists of just one person, me. I am a guitarist and songwriter who loves Jesus. My songs deal with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and my personal relationship with all of them. I play all styles semi-proficiently, which means I am not a prodigy or super expert, but a good player with good rythym who loves to play. The songs that have come from all of this are sometimes light-hearted romps through music and at other times, are deep and very meaningful with Biblical truths...the kind of songs you want to definitely hear and understand the words. Enjoy the music and words, but keep in mind that my music at this time is done in my own home studio and ,except where noted, all parts are performed by me and mixed in with my little Tascam Porta 02 mini-studio and associated gear. I have a lot of songs that will be appearing on this website as time goes by and time is available to sit down and at least do a rough take with simple guitar and vocal so you can see how they sound. My goal is to mix them all with bass, canned rythym from my electronic keyboard and all the guitar and vocals, but that is a project that takes time.

Story behind the song
I was at a Bible study and we were praying kinda quietly. Out of nowhere, Pastor quoted the scripture "He is the potter and we are the clay". In the past, I had always pictured silly putty and hands molding it into a shape. This time as I thought about it, my mind saw a potters wheel and it all came together for me. The song came along about a week later as I was thinking about it again. Here are some questions for you: Have you ever seen a potters wheel being used? If so, you will note that the potter keeps the clay right in the middle. Have you ever been on a child's playground merry-go-round? Notice how much easier it is to stay on when you sit in the middle? Well, the closer we are to the center of God's will, the easier it is to stay on and then He can work with us. The only thing different is that it is OUR CHOICE to stay in the center of the potters wheel. He won't force us!
Lyrics
God's Potter's Wheel Verse 1 God says He's the potter...you are the clay; He'll mold you in Christ's image...shape you day by day. You just have one choice to make and then His hands you'll feel; Keep your life in the middle of His potter's wheel! Chorus Why don't you.... Get up on God's potter's wheel and let His work begin? Stand firm on His potter's wheel, let Him take YOU for a spin? His hands will shape your vessel, He'll place on you His seal; If you keep your life centered on God's potter's wheel. Verse 2 God knows what's in your future...what you're gonna do. He'd like the opportunity to lead and guide you through. But you must give it all to Him, before Him you must kneel; To keep your life in the middle of His potter's wheel. Verse 3 Like a boat upon the ocean, you sometimes rock and roll; The storms of life surround you, the pounding takes it's toll. So trust your life to Jesus, He'll give you and even keel; Help you keep your life in the middle of His potter's wheel. Verse 4 You sometimes suffer damage, in the fray you often yield; Like a soldier with no armor, you fight without your shield. Turn back to your Maker, your wounds God will heal. Put your life back into the middle of His potter's wheel. Copyright © 5/98 Mustard Seed Music
