CRACKED VESSEL
Verse 1:
A cracked vessel is the mind
What goes in leaks out in time:
People’s names and people’s faces,
What took place in certain places,
All the science, all the math,
Memories of the distant past.
CHORUS:
YOU CAN’T ADD MORE TO A FILLED-UP CUP,
YOU NEED TO LET SOME OUT.
THAT CRACK IS A BLESSING
YOU CAN BE GLAD ABOUT.
Verse 2:
A cracked vessel is the heart:
Passions, fashions all depart,
Tastes change, love grows cold,
Old obsessions lose their hold.
Why cling to the overrated?
What you treasured gets donated.
CHORUS, REPEAT
Verse 3:
But when God’s love rains, it pours.
If some seeps out, there’s always more.
Mind and heart and soul fill up;
A holy torrent floods your cup.
Overflowing, leaking too,
That’s how much your God loves you.
CHORUS:
YOU CAN’T FIT GOD IN A FILLED-UP HEART;
YOU NEED TO LET SIN OUT.
THAT CRACK IS A BLESSING
YOU CAN BE GLAD ABOUT.
