How can mere clay appreciate the potter
whose hands have shaped it, strong upon the wheel?
How can the fish appreciate the water—
how can mere clay appreciate the potter
how can a wondering soul know God? Oh, daughter,
who’s seeking knowledge, ask this as you kneel:
how can mere clay appreciate the potter
whose hands have shaped it, strong upon the wheel?
