The Potter's Wheel
Poem by Marilyn Ferguson©2005

 
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.
