Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams and visions shattered, you're all broken inside
You don't have to stay in the shape that you're in
The potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again
In case your situation has turned upside down
And all that you've accomplished, is now on the ground
The potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again
You who are broken, stop by the potter's house
You who need mending, stop by the potter's house
Give Him the fragments of your broken life
My friend, the potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again
You who are broken, stop by (wont't you stop on by?) the potter's house (stop on by the potter's house)
You who need mending (if your heart needs mending, come on by) stop by the potter's house (the potter's house)
Give Him the fragments of your broken life
My friend, the potter wants to put you back together again (how many of you believe that?)
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again (one more time, come on)
You who are broken, stop by (stop on by) the potter's house (the potter's house)
You who need mending, stop by the potter's house (if your broken heart needs mending, stop on by Jesus' house)
Give Him the fragments of your broken life
My friend, the potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again
Joy in the potter's house (he'll give you joy, yes he will) joy in the potter's house
(I know there's peace) peace in the potter's house (yes there it)
(For the weary soul) peace in the potter's house)
(You'll find love, yes you will, yes you will) love in the potter's house
(If you're looking for love, the potter has it for you, yes he does) love in the potter's house
(And there is salvation, do you believe it? yes there is salvation) there is salvation in the potter's house
(God can change your life) (if you believe, healing for your body) There is healing in the potter's house
(Thank god there's deliverance) there is deliverance in the potter's house (for every kind of habit, there is deliverance)
You'll find everything you need in the potter's house
You'll find everything you need in the potter's house
You'll find everything you need in the potter's house
You'll find everything you need in the potter's house
Because the potter wants to put you back together again
Oh, the potter wants to put you back together again
Tramaine Hawkins's song The Potter's House is a powerful expression of the never-ending love, grace, and mercy of God. The song is an encouragement to those who are feeling broken, helpless and without hope. It's a reminder that no matter how far we may have fallen, the potter wants to put us back together again. The song opens up by stating the plight of those who have fallen by the wayside of life, their dreams are shattered, and they are all broken inside. However, the second verse points out that the potter wants to put them back together again, and they don't have to stay in the shape that they are in. So, there is hope for them.
The chorus of the song reiterates that those who are broken and need mending can stop by the potter's house. They are encouraged to give the fragments of their broken life to God because the potter wants to put them back together. The potter's house is filled with love, peace, joy, salvation, healing, and deliverance - everything that anyone could need. The song encourages us to believe that the potter can change your life, even if you have lost hope in life. The Potter's House is about trusting in God and turning to Him for restoration while holding onto the belief that God's love can repair all the broken pieces of life.

I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where YouTube started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.
