Lyrics by Timothy Hunter
Vessel
Darkness wrapped about me
Drowning in shame and sin
My sin a crushing burden
No hope or joy within
Then like a ray of hope
Gods loving Grace shone down
And found my sinful heart
Making my heart Gods own
I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel
A lamp to show His light
To show the love of Christ
My life is changed forever
Sins darkness has no hold
I’m Christs chosen vessel
His glory must be told
Im tasked with glorious purpose
To spread His light not mine
To tell the wondrous story
To shout each word and line
I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel
A lamp to show His light
To show the love of Christ
Gods called for us to shine
Not be hidden in fear
To show to those around us
Gods truth abundantly clear
Show the straight and narrow
Proclaim Salvations way
How Christ can save your soul
Indwell your heart today.
I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel
A lamp to show His light
To show the love of Christ
Drowning in shame and sin
My sin a crushing burden
No hope or joy within
Then like a ray of hope
Gods loving Grace shone down
And found my sinful heart
Making my heart Gods own
I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel
A lamp to show His light
To show the love of Christ
My life is changed forever
Sins darkness has no hold
I’m Christs chosen vessel
His glory must be told
Im tasked with glorious purpose
To spread His light not mine
To tell the wondrous story
To shout each word and line
I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel

I long to shine as light
Because of who’s in me
Let Christ shine through my dark
His glory all I see
Let me be a vessel
A lamp to show His light
To show the love of Christ
Into His Courts
Come now before Him
Come now be amazed
Enter His presence
With Worship and Praise
Measure his goodness
Bless His holy name
Come in at His Gates
His majesty Proclaim
Can I cease to sing
Or stop the flow of praise
My voice proclaiming Thanks
To the Ancient of Days
Within my heart cries out
Thanksgiving for His grace
I know that I Am His
Wrapped up in His embrace
Come now before Him
Come now be amazed
Enter His presence
With Worship and Praise
Measure his goodness
Bless His holy name
Come in at His Gates

To make my heart content

Would be a life misspent
My thankful heart is full
When Gods mercies I count
Which flow every morning
From a heavenly fount
Come now before Him
Come now be amazed
Enter His presence
With Worship and Praise
Measure his goodness
Bless His holy name
Come in at His Gates

Gods grace is sufficient
All other gifts aside
Yet blessings without measure
Are unto me applied
What words can be uttered
What justice is my praise?
I can’t thank Him enough
Even with endless days
Come now before Him
