Poems with Power to Strengthen the Soul

by Unknown

———

I IN THEE AND THOU IN ME

I am but clay in thy hands, but Thou art the all-loving artist;

Passive I lie in thy sight, yet in my self-hood I strive

So to embody the life and the love thou ever impartest,

That in my sphere of the finite I may be truly alive.

Knowing Thou needest this form, as I thy divine inspiration,

Knowing thou shapest the clay with a vision and purpose divine,

So would I answer each touch of thy hand in its loving creation,

That in my conscious life thy power and beauty may shine.
