El Alfarero

One day praying I said to my Lord
You the potter and I am clay
Mold my life according to your will
Do as you please
Make me a new being

He said I don't like you
I'm going to break you
And in a new vessel
I'm going to transform you

But in the process
I'm going to make you cry
Because through the fire
I'm going to make you go

I want a smile when everything goes wrong
I want praise instead of your complaints
I want your trust in adversity
And I want you to learn to forgive as well
