Vessel

by Chris Sligh

on Running Back to You (2008)

Safe inside Your hand 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
And 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 me to be
Oh Lord, may my prayer be, oh

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
Oh Lord, make me a vessel
