 1 

Earthen vessel I was made,

Christ in me the treasure laid;

His container I must be,

As the content He in me.

 
 2 

In His image I was made,

Fit that Christ should all pervade;

Thus the vessel God did form

With the content uniform.

 
 3 

In my spirit He remains,

With His power He sustains;

As the Spirit one with me,

He is my reality.

 
 4 

Moving in me day by day,

Mingling with me all the way,

All my steps He regulates,

Every part He saturates.

 
 5 

Him expressing from within,

Making Him to others seen,

I transparent have to be

That He may be shown thru me.

 
 6 

Transformation is my need,

To be broken more indeed,

That the clay may change in form,

To the treasure to conform.
