No Controle do Vaso

In Control of the Vessel
Go down to the potter's house
For I want to speak with you
I have a mystery with you
Come down quickly, for I want to show you
Arriving at the house, I saw the potter
Molding the clay as he wished
But suddenly, the vessel broke
And something impressive happened, I saw
The potter takes the clay, kneads the clay
Adjusts the clay, remakes the vessel
And I heard the voice of God saying very calmly
Do you see the clay like this? It is Israel
I do as I please, I am the potter
I break, knead, remake
The vessel, I turn it in the fire
Then I remake the vessel again
I am the potter and I rule over the people
In your midst, I am the potter
In your walk, I am the potter
In your lying down, I am the potter
In your life, I am the potter
In your sorrows, I am the potter
In the midst of war, I am the potter
In this struggle, I am the potter
Calm down, I am the potter and as the potter I do
I am still in control of the clay
So rest and be at peace
I will enter, I will enter the hospital, I will heal
I will liberate, I will work, organize
I will save your family
I am life, change
I break the bow and cut the spear
And in the end I will use the vessel
In your midst, I am the potter
In your walk, I am the potter
In your lying down, I am the potter
In your sorrows, I am the potter
In the midst of war, I am the potter
In this struggle, I am the potter
Calm down, I am the potter and as the potter I do
I am still in control of the clay
So rest and be at peace
I will break, move, shape, remake, make, act, work
And in the end I will use the vessel
I will move, shape, remake, make, arrive, act, work
And in the end I will use the vessel
