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
