Jar of Clay Lyrics

As performed by: Pinmonkey
Children do not weep for me
When you hear I'm dead and gone
In the Savior's arms I'll be
Just 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
Chorus:
Make my coffin straight and long
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 met to rot
And go back to the earth again
Chorus x 2
Let this jar of clay return to dust (repeat twice)
