Jar of Clay

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
