Safe inside your hands you hold me
Pain and tribulations mold me
I try to run away from you
The pain's too great you put me through
I find myself on my knees to pray
Then you hear the words you long for me to say

Make of me a vessel that you can always use
No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose
Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes
Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel

Deep inside my heart you've shown me
Despite all my sins you've known me
I try to run away again
I break your heart with all my sin
I fall to you with tear-filled eyes
I run to you with broken heart and cry

Make of me a vessel that you can always use
No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose
Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes
Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel

Make me into what you want for me to be
Oh, Lord, may my prayer be
Make of me a vessel that you can always use
No matter how you break me, what I win or what I lose
Let me be a vessel pure and holy, perfect in your eyes
Lord, hear me when I cry, for you to make me, a vessel
Oh Lord make me, a vessel
