(We Are) Broken Vessels

by Nathan Warnes

/

about

This song was written a very long time ago, at a conference in Northern Ireland. I hadn't written a song I was proud of or a long time, and I was still very much into Christian music. I'm really proud of how many ways it crosses over, from pop to Christian lyrics, and from classical to pop rock. This might not be for everyone, but this is the belief that my life has always been built on.

lyrics

I'm a shattered jar of clay
Moulded in the potter's hands.
I had spent my life away
A prodigal in far off lands

Then you found me
Trying to tear myself apart
Then you show me
How great a love flows from your heart.

I'm a broken vessel
I'm a broken vessel
Running over with your joy

I'm a broken vessel
I'm a broken vessel
Overflowing with your love, your love.

Love that reached into our world
Soiled by sin, sickness and strife
Love that gave His only son
Down to give away His life

How He loved us
As we nailed Him to the tree
He forgave us
Gave us life eternally

We are broken vessels
We are broken vessels
Running over with your joy

We are broken vessels
We are broken vessels
Overflowing with your love

Then you found me
Trying to tear myself apart
Then you show me
How great a love flows from your heart, your heart.
