When our hearts become proud – v2

When our hearts become too proud

our garners full of grain, a bounty,

when we are revered, known in the gate,

when we claim we are the cause

our success our own doing

A judgment of God

out of the whirlwind

correcting our deception

this hardening of our heart

The source of our wealth

so long as we remember

we are the clay

and He is the Potter

the Creator of all that is.
