Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In this world of trials, where my strength is bound to fail,
I’m a vessel made of dust, so brittle and so frail.
But Paul proclaimed a promise, to the Corinthians long ago.
God’s treasure lives within us, and His glory’s bound to show.
(Chorus)
Light in fragile clay, oh, light in fragile clay,
His power shines through weakness, in a marvelous way.
Though I’m pressed, not crushed, afflicted, not dismayed,
Jesus holds me steady, light in fragile clay.
His glory’s in this vessel, forever it will stay,
I’m carryin’ His light, light in fragile clay.
(Verse 2)
When the storms come ragin’, and my heart is worn and weak,
His Spirit whispers softly, of the strength I long to seek.
This jar of clay may falter, but His light will never dim,
For the power of the Savior shines eternal deep within.
(Chorus)
Light in fragile clay, oh, light in fragile clay,
His power shines through weakness, in a marvelous way.
Though I’m pressed, not crushed, afflicted, not dismayed,
Jesus holds me steady, light in fragile clay.
His glory’s in this vessel, forever it will stay,
I’m carryin’ His light, light in fragile clay.
(Bridge)
Oh, His gospel is the treasure, in this heart of mine it glows,
Through the cracks of my own brokenness, His radiant mercy flows.
Though I stumble, I won’t fall, for His hand will lead me on,
This fragile clay will shine His light, until the night is gone!
(Verse 3)
When I reach that golden city, where all tears are swept away,
I’ll lay this jar at Jesus’ feet, in the light of endless day.
‘Til then I’ll keep on carryin’, this treasure He’s bestowed,
His glory shines through weakness, on this weary pilgrim road.
(Chorus)
Light in fragile clay, oh, light in fragile clay,
His power shines through weakness, in a marvelous way.
Though I’m pressed, not crushed, afflicted, not dismayed,
Jesus holds me steady, light in fragile clay.
His glory’s in this vessel, forever it will stay,
I’m carryin’ His light, light in fragile clay.
(Outro)
Hallelujah, praise His name, forever He’s the same!
Light in fragile clay, we’ll lift His holy flame!
Light in fragile clay, oh, light in fragile clay,
His power shines eternal, light in fragile clay!
