Vessels of Gold

We are lowly earthen vessels,
made with clay and dust.
Withered with cracks and leaks,
full of hate and lust.
The crack in our vessels,
are from our many sins.
When we believe in Jesus,
the potter will start again.

Chorus
We are vessels of gold,
Made for noble deeds.
No longer broken and old,
Used for sowing seeds.

God shapes us into replicas,
of the vessels we will be.
When we get to Heaven,
perfect and sinless we shall be.
When our life is over,
the potter will make us into.
Vessels of pure gold,
perfect, priceless and new.

Chorus
We are vessels of gold,
Made for noble deeds.
No longer broken and old,
Used for sowing seeds.

First filled with
Christ's precious blood,
faith as He gave measure.
New wine as our spirits grow,
water of life our real treasure.
But if we do not stay,
always faithful and prayerful.
We'll start to crack from within,
no longer whole and useful.

Chorus
We are vessels of gold,
Made for noble deeds.
No longer broken and old,
Used for sowing seeds.

Chorus
We are vessels of gold,
Made for noble deeds.
No longer broken and old,
Used for sowing seeds.
