Earthen vessel I was made,
Verse 1
Earthen vessel I was made, Christ in me the treasure laid; His container I must be, As the content He in me.
Verse 2
In His image I was made, Fit that Christ should all pervade; Thus the vessel God did form With the content uniform.
Verse 3
In my spirit He remains, With His power He sustains; As the Spirit one with me, He is my reality.
Verse 4
Moving in me day by day, Mingling with me all the way, All my steps He regulates, Every part He saturates.
Verse 5
Him expressing from within, Making Him to others seen, I transparent have to be That He may be shown thru me.
Verse 6
Transformation is my need, To be broken more indeed, That the clay may change in form, To the treasure to conform.
