12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Empty hands to You…I bring,
Nothing of myself…an offering;
Empty hands…I lift them up,
I look to You…to fill them.

For myself…No, not ever,
A vessel my desire;
A vessel fit for the Master’s use,
His vessel and that…overflowing.

Fill me…Oh, my LORD,
Into these hands…extended;
And then, let them be used,
For Your glory…as intended.

A vessel…just a vessel,
But, one that You have filled;
With empty hands…extended,
Fill them, LORD…that I may do Your will.

Nothing to You…I can bring,
But, this life a daily sacrifice;
A token of my love for You,
And this…I gladly do.

Empty hands…I lift them up,
Knowing by faith…You will fill;
A vessel fit for the Master’s use,
Empty hands…extended!
