And He is the Potter

When we come to God
petitioning our of our pain
our lack of understanding
the whys of life with no answers
remembering we are the clay
and He is the potter
knowledge and power we do not have
He alone fathoming
the mysteries we cannot
shaping us with his hands
guiding us in this life
