I Am Only An Earthen Vessel
That Jesus May Use As He Will,
Whether Much I May Do In His Vineyard,
Or Small Be The Place That I Fill.

I Am Only An Earthen Vessel,
But Jesus Has Pleasure In Me;
While I Gladly Submit To His Purpose,
A Vessel To Honor I’ll Be.

I Am Only An Earthen Vessel,
But Cleansed By The Master’s Dear Hand;
He Hath Placed Me Just Where He Would Have Me,
And Ready For Service I Stand.

I Am Only An Earthen Vessel,
All Excellence Is Of The Lord;
For Alone I Am Worthless And Empty,
And Nothing Of Profit Afford.

I Am Only An Earthen Vessel,
The Graces Within Are Not Mine,
For The Love And The Power And Glory
Belong To The Savior Divine.
