Pressed, But Not Broken | A Blues Song 2 Corinthians 4:7-10

** The apostle Paul wrote 2 Corinthians as a deeply personal letter to the church in Corinth, defending his ministry and sharing the trials he endured for the sake of Christ. In chapter 4, Paul speaks of the hardships and sufferings faced by those who follow Jesus but declares that despite the struggles, God's power sustains us.

This passage reminds us that even when life presses us down, confuses us, or tries to break us, God is still at work. We may be struck down, but we are not destroyed. This blues song captures that raw struggle and ultimate victory-because in Jesus, we always rise again.

** 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (WEB - World English Bible)

But we have this treasure in clay vessels,
that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed;
perplexed, yet not in despair;
pursued, yet not forsaken;
struck down, yet not destroyed;
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus,
that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

** Lyrics: Pressed, But Not Broken Blues

[Slow blues groove, deep and gritty tone, starts with a lone guitar wail...]
[Verse 1]

I walk this road with a heavy load,
Carryin' a treasure deep inside.
This ol' clay jar is cracked and worn,
But the fire of the Lord won't hide.
[Verse 2]

I've been pressed down on every side,
But I ain't never been crushed.
Yeah, I've been perplexed, confused, and torn,
But I won't drown in the dust.
[Chorus] [Powerful and triumphant, slow build-up to full band kick-in]

Oh, I've been struck down, but I ain't destroyed,
Been pursued, but never left alone.
They can throw me down, try to break my soul,
But the power of Jesus makes me strong!
[Verse 3]

I done walked through nights so cold and dark,
Felt the weight of my own sin.
But my God pleads my case, lifts me up,
And He'll bring me to the light again.
[Bridge] [Slow, heavy, deep blues solo, then soft vocals over the groove...]

Oh, my enemies laughed, said, "Where's your God now?"
But they don't know what's comin'…
They don't see the fire in my bones.
My God's still workin'-
And I ain't alone!
[Final Chorus] [Big and bold, full-band explosion!]

Oh, I've been struck down, but I ain't destroyed,
Been pursued, but never left alone.
Yeah, this ol' jar is crackin', breakin',
But the fire inside still glows!

[Song fades out on a wailing guitar solo, slow and soulful...]
