    Father, take the vessel that catches all my tears,
             please, pour it over me tonight,
  wash away all of this heartache, & these foolish fears
       that time will end before we get it right.

        All of my life, other's choices have been
           able to affect the hope & strength
       I had in myself to be able to persevere...
  ...it's only by Your power, I know, I'll go the length.

    Lord, take the vessel that holds all my prayers
           that, like incense, rise up to You,
remind me of the sweetness I've tasted of, through the years,
  when Your Spirit's opened my heart, & gotten through.

       I remember how I'd just shut down before,
         in the face of this heartache again,
      but You draw me to sweet communion with You,
        even if all I can do is share my pain.

  I am Your vessel, so please fill me with Your Word,
        Your Spirit, Your life, & Your love,
    Help me to hold onto the promises I've heard,
    take my focus off this world, to look above.

I know You are the one who's love will one day restore
            all the enemy's tried to destroy....
       ...You are the keeper of vessels set apart,
         & even in this now, I count it all joy~
