Vessels Unto Honor

We never drink from a vessel
That is not washed and clean.
We would like to cleanse it well
From germs that are not seen.

Clean vessels are chosen by God
For use in His service on earth.
Be a clean vessel for God's use,
Blood-washed by the second birth.

A clean vessel unto honor
Is a vessel fit for the Master,
Whether we serve as a janitor,
Or whether we serve as a pastor.

Christians, let's live clean lives,
Free of worldly, sinful pleasure.
Let us be vessels unto honor.
Let's be God's "peculiar treasure."

2 Timothy 2:21, "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
