G-d, the Master Potter,
Has a special plan for you.
Though you may not know nor understand
The suffering you're going through.
Disappointment, pain, and sorrow,
Will often come our way,
Yet there is blessed hope still found
For a formless mass of clay.
And when His work is finished,
Your life will reveal
The glorious design G-d made of you
Upon "The Potter's Wheel".
"For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the L-rd, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you"  [Jeremiah 29:11-12]
