I am troubled, yet not distressed
Perplexed, but not in despair
Cause I'm a vessel full of power
With a treasure, none can compare
Persecuted, but not forsaken
Cast down, but not destroyed
I'm a vessel full of power
With a treasure, from the Lord
[Chorus:]
I'm a vessel full of power
With a treasure from the Lord
So thank you father for your power
It has resurrected me
Over painful circumstances
That my poor soul could not flee
I've been Bruised and battered but not broken
Born in sin, but from sin I am free
Cause I am a vessel, got a whole lot of power
With a treasure hidden in me
[Chorus:]
Thank you father
For your power, it has resurrected me
Oh, the painful circumstances
That my poor soul could not flee
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Lead 1:]
I'm the vessel full of power
With a treasure from the Lord
[Chorus:]
I'm the vessel full of power
With a treasure from the lord [x3]
I'm a vessel, you're a vessel full of power
You've got power from the Lord
I'm a vessel full of power
Treasure from the Lord
I'm a vessel, full of power with a treasure from the Lord
