A Vessel Needing Filled

Empty, I came to You Father,

Dried up and weary;

I thirst for the Living Water,

My longing, my need.

 

I’m Your lowly servant

In search of Your grace.

My spirit is fed only by what You grant,

A vessel needing filled in this commonplace.

 

Swimming amongst a roaring tide,

I’m barely staying afloat.

I look to my left, then to my right

As my spirit is soaked.

 

Come to my rescue

For I’m drowning in my own fear.

I trust that You will continue to guide me to You.

A vessel needing filled; a longing to have You near.

 

Pour out Your glory

From on high.

Filled with mercy,

You, O God, are the spark in my eye.

 

Help me not to be so full of myself

And the cares of this world, but bowed to Your will.

May You always be my wealth,

And may I ever be a vessel needing filled.

A beautiful poem dear poet.
"Help me not to be so full of myself
And the cares of this world, but bowed to Your will.
May You always be my wealth,
And may I ever be a vessel needing filled."
I like the above words. Could stand as a prayer alone. We need prayers and support. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Although pieces of Faith aren't always what I enjoy reading, your work is very well written. I loved the flow of it and the depth of your feelings for God and of his Power. Very good work.

Melinda: Perfection, inspiring and flawless. I loved every single word, and read it as another prayer for myself. A Vessel Needing Filled, what a beautiful title and that is what we are, but never could I write such an impactful poem. This has a widespread appeal, most certain many could benefit. It flowed like a smooth flowing river...moving ever stone calling to God, pleading for his blessing but asking to serve him like we are put on this earth to do. The wisdom expressed is so divine and compelling. Faith is everything. Girl, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. Immaculate! Thank you so very much. Dale
