Vessel

Vessel
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
The tides of change are raging
In my mind and soul
And I’m afraid the fight within me wants to go
All I’ve known now feels uncertain and so bleak
And how I long to hear Your voice so gently speak

[Pre-Chorus]

Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to calm these angry seas

But if it’s silence that You need…


[Chorus]

Make me a vessel
If it’s me You want to use

I’ll be completely for all that
You want me to do
Make me a vessel
To share Your love and Your truth
Use me to lead the wayward
Right on home to You


[2nd Verse]

People say we’re nearly at the very end
And evil is spread farther than it’s ever been

How I want to hear that trumpet in the skies

And watch in awe as You wipe the tears
From all of our eyes
But, only You know the day
And only You know the hour

[Pre-Chorus]

So help me stay in the fight
And help me live by Your Power
On bended knees

And in everything…



[2nd Chorus]

I’ll be a vessel
If it’s me You want to use
I’ll be completely for all that You want me to do
Make me a vessel
To share Your love and Your truth
Use me to lead the wayward
Right on home to You

[Bridge]

The times are pressing!

The clock is ticking!

But until you come back Lord

I’ll keep on serving, keep on living!


[Outro]
I’ll be a vessel
Ready, willing to be used
I’ll give you glory
In all that I say and do
Make me a vessel
One that will choose to sacrifice
The treasures and the offerings
Of this mortal life
