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*
