Earthen Vessel

1Earthen vessel I was made,
Christ in me the treasure laid;
His container I must be,
As the content He in me.
2In His image I was made,
Fit that Christ should all pervade;
Thus the vessel God did form
With the content uniform.
3In my spirit He remains,
With His power He sustains;
As the Spirit one with me,
He is my reality.
4Moving in me day by day,
Mingling with me all the way,
All my steps He regulates,
Every part He saturates.
5Him expressing from within,
Making Him to others seen,
I transparent have to be
That He may be shown thru me.
6Transformation is my need,
To be broken more indeed,
That the clay may change in form,
To the treasure to conform.

This song was written by Witness Lee and speaks to our day to day walk with the Lord and how we change and move and live in our daily life. It says something about salvation for transformation. We don't merely need initial salvation, but a day to day salvation of the spirit and mind.
