Almost my thoughts on the other poem, when God does something so powerful in your life,
saves you from destruction, from suicide, loneliness and despair, then all you want to do
is serve Him in what ever capacity you can. He is Love!
Just an Ordinary Vessel
Just an ordinary vessel
sitting on my Master’s shelf,
until the Master of my heart now sees
that I no longer live for my self.
For He has waited for a purpose
and great and holy plan,
and He has done a mighty cleansing within
the heart of this clay woman.
I might be plain and ordinary in my looks
and maybe in the way I talk,
but I have felt the refining fire of my God
that has sanctified my walk.
An ordinary vessel
wanting to please my wonderful Lord,
to live a life more holy for Him is
all that I can afford.
Just an ordinary vessel? Yes, Lord
but in Your hands I become,
a mighty tool and a weapon of faith
that can put the devil on the run.
Just an ordinary vessel
maybe not a seller of purple or one of that kind,
but I am fisher of men
I do have that frame of mind!
Yet, I am still praying and seeking You, Lord
that is all I want to do,
and Lord, if You can use this ordinary vessel
it is ready and waiting for I have surrendered it all to You.
