Potter’s House Lyrics

[Chorus]
When I'm down and feeling low
To the potter's house I go
He fixed me up, and made me right
From my head down to my toes
He fills me with His Holy Ghost
Here's something else (Something else) you oughta try
Mmm, mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
So many times I thought I wouldn't make it (Well, well, well)
Dealing with the things that life was sending me (Hmm)
Not knowing that it was all in His plan, oh
He was making me into what He wanted me to be, yeah
Making me right, molding my life
I was blind but now I see, yeah
So many times the devil tried to destroy me, yeah
But now I know, hey, now I know

[Chorus]
When I'm down and feeling low
To the potter's house I go
He fixed me up (Yeah), and made me right
(Made me right, made me right)
From my head down to my toes
He fills me with His Holy Ghost
Here's something else (Yeah, ooh) you oughta try
(You oughta try, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel my world is falling all around me (Well, well, well)
Falling all around, all around my feet, mmm
Sometimes I felt like diving in a sea of weakness
Couldn't find no strength from my friends or family, no, no, no
Took control of my mind, darkness surrounds me
I was blind and couldn't see
Mama told me when I'm surrounded on all sides
The only place to go is to the Man up on high, yeah

[Chorus]
When I'm down and feeling low
To the potter's house I go
He fixed me up (He, He), and made me right
(Made me right, made me right)
From my head down to my toes
He fills me with His Holy Ghost
Here's something else (Something else) you oughta try

[Verse 3]
So many times I thought I wouldn't make it (Well, well, well)
Dealing with the things that life was sending me
Not knowing that it was all in His plan, oh
He was making me into what He wanted me to be, yeah
Making me right, molding my life
I was blind but now I see, yeah
So many times the devil tried to destroy me, yeah
But now I know, hey, now I know
[Chorus]
When I'm down and feeling low
To the potter's house I go
He fixed me up (Yeah), and made me right
From my head down to my toes
He fills me with His Holy Ghost
Here's something else you oughta try
(Hey, hey, hey, hoo, hoo)
When I'm down and feeling low
To the potter's house I go
He fixed me up, and made me right
(Hey, hey, hey, hoo, hoo)
From my head down to my toes
He fills me with His Holy Ghost
(Hey, hey, hey, hoo)
Here's something else you oughta try
(Hey, oh, oh, hoo, hoo)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
- Where are your angels?
-- I only got, got two
- Two angels?
-- Mhm
- Who sends the angels to watch over you?
-- God
- God does?
-- Mhm
- And, and why does he do that?
- They protect you. Angels are heavenly messengers from God

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
