In 1902, Adelaide A. Pollard was hoping to go to Africa as a missionary but found herself unable to raise the needed funds to make the journey. Greatly discouraged, she attended a prayer service one evening and as she sat there, she overheard an elderly woman say It really doesn't matter what you do with us, Lord, just have your own way with our lives. The elderly woman inspired Pollard and she contemplated the story of the potter from Jeremiah 18:3 and, upon her return home that evening, wrote all four stanzas before retiring for the night. Five years later George Stebbins wrote a tune titled Adelaide to accompany the text. - Wikipedia This Brass Quintet arrangement by Joseph Pugh changes the time signature from 9/4 to 3/4 for easier readability.
