We have this treasure,
In earthen vessels;
That the excellency of power,
Be not of us,
Pressed on every side,
Yet we are not distressed
we are the blessed
But not in despair;
We are persecuted,
Yet not forsaken;
Yes we are humbled
To God be the glory!
SPOKEN WORDS:
Beloved, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, who saves us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. His life destroys death….as death is swallowed up in victory!
2:
We have this treasure,
In earthen vessels;
That the excellency of power,
Be clearly from God;
Yes, we are cast down,
But not left in misery!
Bearing in the body,
The dying of Christ;
Yes, the life of God’s spirit
Reveals His great strength in us!
Yes we are humbled,
To God be the glory!
BRIDGE:
Jesus gives us this new life,
Resurrection power of God in us;
Through His strength we overcome,
in our heavens and in our earth;
We work out our salvation,
With fear and trembling,
As He works in us;
To God be the glory!
ENDING:
Jesus is Lord
In heaven and earth
He reigns supreme!
Jesus is Lord
Great and mighty
Overflowing stream
To God be the glory!
