Make Me A Yielded Vessel

“God is not looking for golden vessels. God is not looking for silver vessels. God is looking for yielded vessels.” — Kathryn Kuhlman That quote has stuck with me, along with the biblical picture of God as the Potter and us as the clay. I also remembered an old worship chorus that used the phrase “yielded vessel,” and it became the starting point for this song. “Make Me a Yielded Vessel” is a prayer of surrender — releasing control, trusting the hands of the Potter, and asking God to be Lord over every part of life. Scriptures that helped shape this song: Isaiah 64:8 — God is the Potter; we are the clay. Jeremiah 18:1–6 — the Potter reshapes the clay in His hands. Ezekiel 36:26 — God removes the heart of stone and gives a tender, responsive heart. 2 Timothy 2:20–21 — a cleansed vessel is set apart and ready for the Master’s use. 2 Corinthians 4:7 — we are fragile jars of clay carrying treasure from God. Matthew 11:28–30 — Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. 1 Peter 5:7 — we can give our worries and cares to God because He cares for us. Psalm 55:22 — we can give our burdens to the Lord and trust Him to sustain us. 2 Timothy 2:25–26 — God can bring us back to our senses. Psalm 77:11–12 — remembering what God has already done strengthens our trust in Him. Psalm 24:1 — everything belongs to the Lord. Romans 14:7–9 — whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord; Christ is Lord over all. My prayer behind this song is simple: Make me a yielded vessel.
