Empty me like Jesus

Let me be your servant

your vessel, to be filled

let me be empty

let me be full

empty me like Jesus

humble, made of clay

let me be a slave

faithful to your will

empty me of myself

a willing vessel

filling me with love

pour me like water

Sow me like seed

in the furrowed ground

let me be raised for thee

let me be sown

Cast me as a net

onto troubled waters

let me be sent out, to gather in

a harvest for the Lord

Let me be your message

given to the world

let me shine your Light

bearing your holy Word
