”But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence
of the power may be of God and not of us!”  (2 Cor. 4:7)

I waited in the market place
and watched the motley crowd,
I prayed that God would give me grace
to be both bold and loud!

The strength had left my burdened soul,
amidst the midday hour,
to fill the missionary´s role
I lacked the Spirit´s pow´r!

But as I groaned God sent a man
to me right then and there,
I shared with him God´s saving plan
out in the open air!

I soon forgot my feeble state,
the gospel had its way,
when we are weak, its pow´r is great
in vessels made of clay!

The moral of this story is
the seed of life just sow,
all pow´r in Heav´n and earth is His,
therefore be bold and go!
