Channels Only
Mary E. Maxwell (1900) • English
Primary Scripture: Acts 9:15
Verse 1
How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me That I might Thy channel be.
Chorus
Channels only, blessed Master, But with all Thy wondrous pow’r Flowing through us, Thou canst use us Every day and every hour.
Verse 2
Just a channel full of blessing, To the thirsty hearts around; To tell out Thy full salvation, All Thy loving message sound.
Verse 3
Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me, A clean vessel in Thy hand; With no pow’r but as Thou givest Graciously with each command.
Verse 4
Witnessing Thy pow’r to save me, Setting free from self and sin; Thou who boughtest to possess me, In Thy fullness, Lord, come in.
Verse 5
Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit Hearts that full surrender know; That the streams of living water From our inner self may flow.
