Looking for the lyrics to this song: "I'm a pot, I'm a vessel made !
Question: It was a song I sang in the early 70's. It is a christian song and I think it was composed by Ralph Carmichael. The line I used may also be the chorus, again I'm not sure.

I'm A Vessel
Words and Music by John Fischer
I'm a pot, I'm a vessel,
Made to hold something special;
I've got the living, loving, life of Christ inside.
I used to think I was something,
Now I know I'm really nothing,
But a vessel that's made from the dust of the ground,
The value isn't with me but with what's to be found inside.
I'm a pot, I'm a vessel,
Made to hold something special;
I've got the living, loving, life of Christ inside.
I tried to be up on a shelf
Where everyone would see myself,
But a vessel is empty unless it is used,
So take me down and put me wherever you choose--
You choose.
I'm a pot, I'm a vessel,
Made to hold something special;
I've got the living, loving, life of Christ inside.
It's really not an easy road,
In spite of all we've been told,
'Cause a vessel gets handled and moved around,
But that doesn't matter 'cause our true life is found inside.
I'm a pot, I'm a vessel,
Made to hold something special;
I've got the living, loving, life of Christ inside.
