Make Me A
Vessel
by
Barbara Philbrook
Lord make
me a vessel fill me with as much of your love as you can,
and when there is a need tip me over to pour it on my
fellow man.
Do
whatever it takes to make me strong enough to hold,
and yet willing always to do as I am told.
Shape me
in a way that my contents can freely flow to
another,
let me always recognize each thirsting sister or brother.
Father you
are the Potter and I am but the clay,
please make me into a useful vessel you can use in some
way.
So many
with a thirst so many bound for Hell,
fill me up Lord fill me from the Living Well.
Then when
you perceive a need in my fellow man,
tip me to pour over them all that>you can.
When my
earthly chores are over and I am welcomed Home,
may there be a multitude with me not left behind alone.
All
because they heard your loving story,
all coming to give you the Honor and Glory.
