An Empty Water Pot

Written by Ray Scarbrough

(written by Ray Scarbrough) 

[verse] Passover was nigh. He had to say goodbye. So he sent 2 to find an upper room. He said you’ll meet a man with a water pot in his hand. And he’ll lead you to what it is you have to do. 

[chorus] Lord please bless me with a vessel that takes others by the hand. I will lead them to your secret place. Your wish is my command. No one needs to know my name, if I can help them thru their pain to find that spot. Until they’re won, I’ll be the one; with an empty water pot. 

[verse] Someone got the news today that took them by surprise. Get your house in order; for soon you’ll say goodbye. I will lead them as you lead me. My will is at your word. Fill my empty vessel with your spirit O MY LORD! 

[chorus] Lord please bless me with a vessel that takes others by the hand. I will lead them to your secret place. Your wish is my command. No one needs to know my name, if I can help them thru their pain to find that spot. Until they’re won, I’ll be the one; with an empty water pot. 

[outro] No one needs to know my name, if I can help them thru their pain to find that spot. Until they’re won, I’ll be the one; with an empty water pot.
