All too often we forget that, to be effective ministers of God's love, we need to get down on our knees, bow before His throne, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and ask Him to fill us to overflowing with His love so that we can minister out of the excess He gives us.  We must be willing vessels for Him or we cannot do what He has called us to do.

LET ME BE YOUR VESSEL, LORD

As I come into Your presence, Lord,
And as I bow before Your throne,
You know the desire of my heart
Is to worship You alone.

You said "The curtain has been torn",
So I know I can come in –
The barriers were broken down
When Jesus washed away my sin.

 

Your love flows like a river
As I lift my hands to You.
Oh, Lord, I pray, come and fill me up
And let it flow straight through.

As you fill me to overflowing, Lord,
Let it pour right out of me…
Let it touch each thirsty soul I meet,
And set the captives free.

I will give You all the glory
And praise You all my days,
As Your love and peace flow through me,
And You teach me of Your ways.

So let me be Your vessel, Lord
As I give to You my heart,
And send me out into the world,
So I can do my part.
