Earthen Vessel

Be bigger in my heart, Lord!
Be bigger in my heart.
Fill up this temporal earthen vessel and press against its brittle walls.

Help me keenly remember the precious blood which flowed so free
And swiftly relinquish what others have done against me.
In the empty tomb, the Hope of our long desired destiny!

Fill up all my heart, Lord!
Fill up all my heart.
Make this brittle earthen vessel bigger, Lord, to know your joy so large.

By your miraculous power stretch out this brittle being.
Seeing is not always believing but believing is really seeing.
For if through trial this temporal vessel shatters, Lord,
Still greater is the imperishable vessel's joy to come.
