Original Masterpiece

I play in the worship band for our church on Wednesday nights. Later I plan to blog about that in more detail. For now, I have this song that I wrote tonight after our service. The message was a video clip that spoke about how God can "chisel" away our faults in our lives, thus leaving his perfect creation (us). God created us to be masterpieces. It is our own sin and shame that makes us feel unworthy of Him. If you examine yourself and ask God to reveal your faults, He can begin to chisel away at you. Much like a craftsman chisels away at a giant rock to create a masterpiece. The statue of David is probably the most famous example of a rock sculpture. Before it was so beautiful, the craftsman had to remove the imperfections and make it into the masterpiece that it is. In the same way, if we let him, God can chisel away at us... revealing His true original masterpiece.

Original Masterpiece

Verse 1:
You chisel me away
One piece at a time
Leaving no stone unturned
I’m afraid of what you’ll find

But a little less of me
Is a little more of you
Break me down
Make me new

Chorus:
Your original masterpiece
A creation so fine
I’m out of your way
So your love can shine
Help me remove all of me
So all that’s left is you
A beautiful creation
A love so true.

Verse 2:
Removing my doubts
Removing my fears
Removing my faults
Removing my tears

Under this shell
A flower can bloom
Empty me completely
So You have room

Chorus:
Your original masterpiece
A creation so fine
I’m out of your way
So your love can shine
Help me remove all of me
So all that’s left is you
A beautiful creation
A love so true.
