But the Potter Knows the Clay

man picking with long rod on wood fired oven

The Potter Knows the Clay

Song by The Perrys


I know you are going through the fire

Its getting hard to stand the heat

But even harder is the wondering

Is God's hand still on me

Its lonely in the flames

When you’re counting days of pain

But the Potter knows the clay

How much pressure it can take

How many times around the wheel

‘Till there's submission to His will

He’s planned a beautiful design

But it’ll take some fire and time

Its gonna be okay

‘Cause the Potter knows the clay


Friend I just came through that fire

Not too very long ago

And looking back I can see why

And that my God was in control

But on the hottest days I’d cry

Oh Lord, isn’t it about time


But the Potter knows the clay
