I AM IN THE POTTER’S HANDS
by Angelena Vernon
I watched the potter stand very still, when he placed some clay on a wheel.
I watched the potter stand very still, when he placed some clay on a wheel.
The potter was wordless and did not speak, as he shaped the clay and applied heat.
The clay could not shine as gold, until the burning fire hit the mold.
God is the potter and I am the clay, he is in control every step of the way.
God sent a fiery test to purify me, only I was not happy to a degree.
I cried out in animosity to say, why are you molding this vessel of clay?
These pains are not what I want to feel, it hurts when you put me on that wheel.
I wasn’t a baby in the potter’s hand, nor was I in authority to command.
The whole process let me see myself, also why I was placed on God’s shelf.
God showed me bitterness in my heart, the root, the cause, and where it starts.
I kept asking God, why so much pain, yet, he kept cutting against the grain.
I resented going through so many test, therefore, I cried out in agony and distress.
God knew my thoughts afar off, He knows my words were not soft.
God did not have to see the sin that dwelled inside of me.
God heard the words I spoke to him, so back on the wheel I had to spin.
God turned up the heat and tied me down, only this time I did not make a sound.
