Make me a vessel of You,
Lord,
filled with Your love so
profound.
From the depths of my heart
and my soul, Lord,
let Your love to others
abound.
Fill me with Your compassion
and mercy –
let me cry out in Your Holy
Name –
For the lost who are living
around me,
that their lives forever
will be changed.
Give me strength to stand up
for You, Lord,
not stopping to count the
cost.
Help me not worry about my
own comfort,
but use that energy to reach
the lost.
When the fears of life come
upon me,
and I dread what might be in
store,
Grant me peace that passes
understanding,
so I can work for You all
the more.
Help me live my life for
Your service, Lord.
Your Spirit within me renew.
Let my life touch others for
You, Lord.
Please make me a vessel of You.
