Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Chosen

called

responding to You

Meeting You has given my life value.

Though I’m young

I haste to pursue You

To be a vessel Your riches shine through.

Consecrating

I hesitate:

Can I that blest goal of glory attain?

In Your light I suddenly see:

Not my might

but Your unrivaled mercy!

Fresh consecration! Wholly for Thee

I’ll closely follow

time redeem!

Live Your transcendent life

Lord

through me

That the treasure within be seen!

Treasure hid in vessels of earth

Manifests Your power and transcendence;

In Your face’s light e’er abiding

If nearer Thee

naught more would I desire.

Pressure

persecutions

and wounds

Just bring resurrection life into bloom;

Though we suffer light trans’ient pain

The eternal weight of glory’s gained!

God of glory shines

drawing us;

Goodbye world

our lives are for God’s purpose!

Precious vessels ready for using

No matter where

as long as it’s with Thee.

We are washed and cleansed by Your word

Unencumbered

holy

transparent

pure;

Mold us

Lord

conform us to Thee;

At Your call

we’d rise up instantly!

New Jerusalem is our dream;

For her building

steadfast we’re pursuing;

Love outpoured

sweet ointment o’erflowing

Fight boldly for the interests of our God.

Vital

spread the God-ordained way

Till as one the new revival we gain;

Oh my Lord

my love

quickly come

As You promised

in our generation!
