Filled with Faith

Our earthy vessels
made with humble clay
filled with Faith
with the presence
of Almighty God

The truth of the Messiah
His coming to the earth
the babe in the manger
and the sacrifice on the cross

The vessel of my body
surely made of clay
though perhaps through me
others may see the way

For God fills willing vessels
humble to His call
filling us that we may be poured out
a blessing to all

We are to be willing vessels
that we may be poured out
no longer holding onto to ourselves
filled with God instead
