Glass of Value
There are so many glasses that have been made
And adored as a glass of value
Glasses of steel and precious stones
Bronze vessels that people admired
Copper, wood, and silver vessels
Golden vessels that the world consecrated
But for God to be a vessel of value
It has to be made of clay
That the potter prepared
It has to be made of clay
To be a vessel of value
It has to be taken to the sun
To receive the heat
The clay vessel is stepped on and crushed
But then it is carried with care and love
To be a vessel it has to be made of clay
No matter the quality or the clay used
Whether the clay is white, black, or yellow
What matters is the potter who worked on the clay
Today the potter knows everything about vessels
Whether gray, brown, or clay of another color
The important thing is to be stepped on and crushed
And after being mixed, it makes a vessel of value
