Earthen vessel I was made

Earthen vessel I was made

Christ in me the treasure laid;

His container I must be

As the content He in me.

In His image I was made

Fit that Christ should all pervade;

Thus the vessel God did form

With the content uniform.

In my spirit He remains

With His power He sustains;

As the Spirit one with me

He is my reality.

Moving in me day by day

Mingling with me all the way

All my steps He regulates

Every part He saturates.

Him expressing from within

Making Him to others seen

I transparent have to be

That He may be shown thru me.

Transformation is my need

To be broken more indeed

That the clay may change in form

To the treasure to conform.
