Prayer of the Broken Vessel
O Lord,
Who wrapped me in this cracking clay
that makes me struggle by the day?
Though thy own hand molds me...
I still need the strength of thy might to hold me;
Please hold these brittle pieces together;
My skin can't handle this brutal weather,
Her breath's too cold...her fruits are ripe
She wraps me in the patience of the still night,
trying to choke out my sanity,
O Lord I appeal to thee in my humanity
I need relief from the rising sun,
her heat's getting hotter yet I'm not done
Though she kisses me with her brilliant bright,
the cracks in me can't handle the light,
Neither the rain from the crying skies
when the emotions are stirred in her burning eyes
and my condition's too low
She comes in a strong shower with her power
and takes me away in a mighty flow...
Lord don't let go?
