Chords for Wade Spencer - VESSEL OF HONOR (Official Video)

[C] I met my friend Steve and Laura Nauman soon after she had been [Dm] [C] bed [F] fast for 10 years.
[Gm] _ [G] She was healed and got out of bed in one day.
[C] Walked around and ran around and the [G] doctor said it was an absolute miracle.
[E] Laura had seven [Dm] healthy years.
[G] She rode motorcycles, hunted, [Am] [G] fished, rode horses.
She was an outdoors person [C] and I [Gm] didn't let any time get past [C] her.
All of a sudden Laura began to get sick again.
_ _ [F] She ended up bed [G] fast again [C] until she passed away about [G] two years ago.
I believe if I'm not [C] mistaken she was bed fast again for eight [Am] years.
_ [G] With all the suffering, [C] and she had a lot of it, and the [Dm] pain that Laura suffered,
[C] [Am] she never lost her faith, her trust in God.
[Em] She loved [G] a song that I sang [A] and Steve is putting out a book,
[Dm] _ like a daily [C] devotional called Laura's [G] Journey, Devotional [C] Bible Stories.
Number [Gm] 38 is the story of Bessel of Anne, [C] the song I'm getting ready to sing.
This [E] song [F] really touched Laura and she wrote [E] about it in this devotional
that she didn't know [Am] that would someday be printed [Gm] in a book.
I'd like to read [F] a couple paragraphs [D] from [C] it just to show you her attitude [G] toward life and [C] the suffering that she did.
She talked [Cm] about the [Dm] Bessel of Anne.
She said, that [C] song has so much more meaning to me [G#] now
because I'm [Gm] confined to bed again with a [C] different disease.
[Dm]
[Am] To some it might [D#] appear that I've been cast [Dm] out to [C] the old potter's field,
broken beyond repair, [G] no longer able to be used.
_ [C] But she said, I would rather believe that the Master has put me [G] back on His [Am] wheel.
[G] He's still shaping [Em] and molding me [C] into what He wants me to be. _ _
Then she goes on to say, so I'm happy and content [F] to know [C] that God, the Master Potter,
loves me so much that He's decided to put me back on His [G] wheel
so that He can [C] mold me into exactly what He wants me to be.
Whatever trial [F] or difficulty you might [C] be dealing with right now,
Laura writes, please [Em] don't harden your heart toward [G] God.
[E] Allow Him to shape and [Dm] mold you and make you [F] into the [C] vessel of honor that He [G] wants you to [F] be.
And she [C] closed with, to [A#] God be the glory.
_ [C]
Let me sing that song for you that Laura referred to and loved so much, Bessel of Anne.
[F] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [A#] A _ _ _ [F] vessel of honor [A#] I'm longing to be
As [C] clay to the potter, [A#] may I [C] be [F] to thee
You may have to break down _ resistance [A#] at times
But Lord, don't [F] stop molding [C] and shaping [F] my [A#] _
[F] life
_ _ [A#] Shape me, dear Father, please [C] make me [F] like You
_ Mold me completely so I can [Dm] be [C] true
_ And _
_ [F] if you have to break [Dm] me, [Cm]
may I [F] [A#] understand
You're [F] still loving and holding [C] my life in [F]
Your hand
[A#] _ It [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [F#] would be such disservice, [B] results would be nil
[C#] If clay rejects potter and [B] seeks its [C#] [F#] own will
It could only be cast out to the old _ [B] potter's deal
Please don't cast me [F#] out, Master, [C#] put me back on Your [F#] will _
_ [G#m] _ [F#] _ [B] Shape me, dear Father, [C#] please make me [F#] like _ You
Mold me completely so I [D#m] can [C#] be true
_ And [F#] if you have to break [D#m] me, [C#m] may I [F#] _ [B] understand
You're [F#] still loving and holding [C#] my life in [F#] Your hand
_ [D#m] _ _ [F#] And if you have to break me, [C#m] may I [F#] _ [B] understand
_ You're _ [F#] still loving and holding [C#] my life in [F#] Your _ [B] hand
