The Potter's Wheel
When you're troubled and discouraged
In the darkness of the night
When obstruction clouds your vision
And you just can't see the light.
When life's trials overcome you
And you have nowhere to turn
When you've reached the very bottom
There are lessons you must learn.
For the clay is being molded
It's been twisted, pulled and tossed
It's been rolled and it's been pounded
Till the ego has been lost.
He will put you through the furnace
You'll be tested to the brim
Your life will be in pieces
Till you give your soul to Him.
From blemish to perfection
His hands will form the clay
This human piece of rubble
Must let God have His way.
When you come to Him all battered
In the form of mortal man
When you cry to Him in mercy
You will find the Potter's hand.
He will grind you, mold and chisel
The friction you will feel
Till He gently carves and shapes you
Upon the Potter's wheel.
