SATB Choral Anthem with Piano
Also available as an SATB HYMN
Text & Music: Alaina Larsen
Arrangement: Alaina Larsen & Cris Conerty
Isaiah said in his oft-quoted passage, “Be Ye clean, who bear the vessels of the Lord.” The term vessel is found in the scriptures to signify several things – sometimes a mighty ship, other times a jar containing wine, water, or oil for individual lamps. This choral anthem, based upon an original hymn, uses these varied definitions of the term vessel as dramatic analogies for how we can be vessels for Him. Perfect for Stake Conference Choirs and as a special musical number for Ward Conference!
VERSE 1
I shall be as a vessel for Thee,
As a hollowed well prepared to receive;
Cleansing first the inside of my cup,
So with sweet, living water Thou canst fill up,
Thy good word springing forth through me!
VERSE 2
I shall be as a vessel for Thee;
As a mighty ship afloat on the sea;
With my sails held fast and opened wide,
For the winds of thy spirit to fill and guide;
Leading where Thou wilt have me be!
VERSE 3
I shall be as a vessel for Thee,
As a lamp of oil lit bright through good deeds;
Standing tall upon the mountainside,
As a city aglow in the dim lit night;
Pointing upwards for all to see!
As a hallowed well,
As a mighty ship,
A lamp of oil,
A vessel for Thee!
Thy vessel I will be!
