And He is the Potter – v2

When we come to God

petitioning out 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
