Make Us Your Vessels
Father, make us your vessels, pure and clean,
Reaching out to the lost and needy;
Living our lives in service for Thee,
Rather than selfish and greedy.
What a joy and privilege to do Your will,
As we walk in fellowship with You-
Serving, witnessing, obeying Your word,
In everything we do;
And when we fail along the way
To do what You have asked,
We know You choose another
To accomplish Your purpose and task-
But then we’re the ones who suffer loss,
And miss Your very best;
For as You use us in Your kingdom
Our hearts are truly blessed.
So help us to see that when we serve others
You give us even more,
And Make Us Your Vessels each day we live-
Till we reach eternity’s door.
"If any man serve me, let him follow me;
and where I am there shall my servant be:
If any man serve me, him will my Father honour"
(John 12:26)
