Make Me a Vessel – Musical Quote of the Week

January 15, 2011 By Jean Wise

I have been praying this song this week. 
Lyrics by Chris Sligh

Hear it here while watching a beautiful photos: 

Safe inside your hands you hold me

Pain and tribulations mold me

I try to run away from you

The pain’s too great you put me through

I find myself on my knees to pray

Then you hear the words you long for me to say

Make of me a vessel that you can always use

No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose

Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes

Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel

Deep inside my heart you’ve shown me

Despite all my sins you’ve known me

I try to run away again

I break your heart with all my sin

I fall to you with tear-filled eyes

I run to you with broken heart and cry

Make of me a vessel that you can always use

No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose

Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes

Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel

Make me into what you want for me to be

Oh, Lord, may my prayer be

Make of me a vessel that you can always use

No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose

Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes

Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel

Oh Lord make me, a vessel

    Great song Jeanie. “What I win or lose,” is a toughie, but so true. Thanks
