Chisel Me

In this life we fight*

And this world is our ring
and like Maximus Meridius I stand side by side with my brother
We fighten it as we press towards the mark of the High calling yea
And along the way we pray Father God chisel us,
And make us more like us

I fight myself daily Bro
Sometimes it just ain't enough
Sometimes when the fight is on
Your boy feel like giving up
My flesh it be flaring up
It's mission is to beat me down
Oh lord turn the fire come
Come brea-ea-eak me down
In a room full of other folks
I used to feel by myself
One look in the mirror and I wish I was somebody else
I know its the enemy but you could deliver me from the s-s-sin in me
Father God come and chisel me

I want to be your master piece
Woven in your tapestry
Prune me of dead weight
Take away my audasity

I'm shut in this wickedness
I'm sick of my sinfulness
I tried to prohibit this
But give in the my carcass tricks
I humble myself the best way I know how
I thought i could be righteous on my now
But I know now
Romans 5: 11 I'm only reconciled through Christ
I know its going to hurt
But I need you to straight...

Chisel me Lord
Break down me with your love
Don't spare your holy Rod
I know this pain will be tough
Chisel me Lord
Mold me to look like you
This isn't easy but
Do what you gotta do
Chisel me Lord

Properly moving lord
This is proof of my lack of faith
And I know that this ain't right but my life
But I don't fight when enticed by my sin,
My delight should be in him
Me weakness cannot be denied
And I know that my theology's nothing if not implied
Oh God
I know my doctrines, atonement to eschatology
But am I in love with you or in love with theology?
Lord I know its got to be the pride in me that's sackin' me
This is hard to pray but if you love me God, then Chastity
Chisel me, I know that you've forgiven me
But I know that in livin' just ain't living less you live through me
Break me lord and deliver me;
Take me Lord as from bended me
Shape me lord as you give to me
I'm thankful for the pain,
That you say you start and you finish it
Refined, and the burned through
Save me from the trash of my past and the sins I have returned to

*Chorus*

It's me again Oh lord
On my knees and right now I'm bearing witness
To the fact that I'm fallin again Oh lord please help me with this
I'm trying to get up out it but daily I struggle with it
I'm trying to change my ways, but father somehow I keep slipping
Caught up with all these struggles
Caught up with all this mess
Caught up with the way I'm living
So now I confess
That I need you more than ever
Please come and change my life
Chisel me, make me holy
Eyes open so I see right
I tried it on my own (own)
Foolish by works alone (alone)
A legal track that leaves you strapped
Like when you borrow loans
I tried to change my life without thinking of the son above
Father forgive me, draw me near thee
Please come show your holy love

*Chorus*
