"We are the clay, You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8
Words: Adelaide Addison Pollard, 1907. Pollard was convinced the Lord wanted her in Africa as a missionary. She tried to raise funds to go, but was unsuccessful. It was in this uncertain state of mind that she attended a prayer meeting. There, she heard an elderly woman pray, "It's all right, Lord. It doesn't matter what You bring into our lives, just have Your own way with us." At home that night, much encouraged, she wrote this hymn.
Music: "Adelaide," George Coles Stebbins, Northfield Hymnal with Alexander's Supplement, 1907
