The Sheep Thinks It Knows

The sheep thinks it knows

    where it should be going;

The clay pot thinks it knows

    when it should be done;

The vine thinks it knows

    when pruning should be over;

But the Sovereign Lord does

    what's best for each one.

The sheep is not responsible 

          for running the ranch -

               the Shepherd is. 

The clay pot is not controlling 

          the  potter’s wheel -

               the Potter is.

The vine is not in charge 

           of the garden -

               the Gardener is.
