Yom Kippur

For imagine clay in the hand of a potter
who at will may finish it or reshape it
So are we in Your hand, source of compassion
Please focus on our covenant, not on our flaws.

For imagine a gem in the hand of a jeweler
who at will may split it or leave it whole
So are we in Your hand, source of life and death
Please focus on our covenant, not on our flaws.

For imagine iron in the hand of a blacksmith
who at will may shape it or melt it down
So are we in Your hand, source of support
Please focus on our covenant, not on our flaws ... .
