Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You
You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray
Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You
Lord, You are the Potter and I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, have Thine own way
Lord, I need Your Spirit, Lord, I need Your grace;
Help me to run this Christian race.
You are the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, have Thine own way.
Lord, I give my life, I give my all to You,
To be a willing vessel, to use me through and through.
Lord, I need Your Spirit, Lord, I need Your grace;
Help me to run this Christian race.
Have Your way,
Have Your way in me.

Song Meaning
Clay speaks in the first person here, and the prayer starts with the heart rather than circumstances: "Change my heart, oh God, make it ever true... may I be like You." The potter image arrives next, "You are the potter, I am the clay, mold me and make me, this is what I pray," which places the singer in the passive role and asks for resemblance to God as the goal.
Later verses add need and offering. "Lord, I need Your Spirit, Lord, I need Your grace; help me to run this Christian race" admits that willpower alone will not carry the change, and "I give my life, I give my all to You, to be a willing vessel" answers with surrender. The refrain "have Thine own way" asks for no particular outcome, only the potter's decision, and the song ends quietly on "Have Your way in me."
The page also appends a related-song section: a version built on "Master, let Your will be done" with the same potter and clay lines, and a note that the three songs are combined here. Isaiah 64:8 and Jeremiah 18:6 supply the potter image, while Psalm 51:10 matches the opening request for a changed heart.
