  1. What a treasure this song is to us! May we, the earthen vessels be broken, so the ointment of God's grace and love and truth be infused to the people all around. We would love to learn the words of this song, in your good time would you post it?

    LOLv,
    mom & dad

  4. We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. || Made of weak clay, we stand in need of Jesus that His power in us cannot stay here with us without His hand's support. || He gave us His light to shine brightly in this world when all around bends and darkness surrounds and ruins our plans so soon. || So we now see that He is strong in our lives. It is just what we need when we know we are weak but that He is our strength.

  5. Thanks, Elliot!!!!
    Your brother also pointed to me his earlier post. Here is its entirety:

    But we
    Have this
    Treasure in earthen
    Vessels
    That the
    excellency
    Of the power may be
    Of God and not
    Of us.

    Made of
    Weak clay
    We stand in need of
    Jesus
    That His
    Power in us
    Cannot stay here with us
    Without His Hand's
    Support.

    He gave
    Us His
    Light to shine brightly
    In this
    World when
    All around bends
    And the darkness surrounds
    And rends our plans
    So soon.

    So we
    Now see
    That he is strong in
    Our lives
    It is
    Just what we need
    When we know we are weak
    But that He is
    Our strength.
