[Intro – whispered, detuned]
I am only clay… breathe…
[Verse 1]
Take this hollow frame,
fill the empty veins.
I’m a vessel for the flame
that carries Your name.
Cracked and dry, I wait,
dust upon the shelf—
pour the oil of grace,
make me something else.
[Pre-Chorus – rising]
I was made to break,
so You could pour through.
[Chorus – soaring falsetto]
I surrender, I surrender—
let the worship tear me open.
Every note a hallelujah,
every breath a token.
Empty me of me,
fill me with the sea
of mercy without end—
I’m Your vessel, amen.
[Verse 2]
I’ve been holding rust,
clutching broken trust.
Still You lift the cup,
say, “Drink, I’ve had enough.”
Let the wine run red,
wash the guilt from stone—
I’m the jar You break
to anoint Your own.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – heavier]
I was made to spill,
so the world could taste.
[Chorus – fuller]
I surrender, I surrender—
let the worship tear me open.
Every note a hallelujah,
every breath a token.
Empty me of me,
fill me with the sea
of mercy without end—
I’m Your vessel, amen.
[Bridge – clean to scream]
CRACK THE CLAY! LET THE RIVER FLOOD!
(Every fracture sings Your blood!)
I’M NOT MINE, I’M NOT MINE—
I’M THE CUP THAT HOLDS THE WINE!
[Instrumental – 8 bars, ambient swell]
[Verse 3 – intimate]
Now the fire burns,
now the glory turns
every shadow into gold.
I’m no longer cold—
I’m the story told
in the hands that won’t let go.
[Final Chorus – massive, layered]
I surrender, I surrender!
Let the worship tear me open!
Every note a hallelujah!
Every breath a token!
Empty me of me!
Fill me with the sea
of mercy without end—
I’m Your vessel… amen.
[Outro – fading choir]
I am Yours… I am Yours…
(repeat to silence)
