All that Falls Away 12/1

(Click on the title to listen to the song.)

Like a work in a sculptor’s hand
Before You, Lord, I stand
Will You carve away each part that You don’t need,
And though there’s pain with every blow
Your grace has let me know
I can trust You as You shape Your will in me.

And with all that falls away I want to please You, Lord.
Remove the part of me that can’t reflect the heart of You
Though I won’t always understand, I will trust Your loving hand
And leave behind all that falls away.

The deeper that You go, as You chisel to my soul
The more my blemished heart is clearly seen
And yet You labor on, and with every flaw that’s gone
The likeness of Your Son is seen in me.

And with all that falls away I want to please You, Lord.
Remove the part of me that can’t reflect the heart of You
Though I won’t always understand, I will trust Your loving hand
And leave behind all that falls away.

Though I won’t always understand
I will trust Your loving hand
And leave behind all that falls away.

My Comments: I heard this song this week on the radio. It really touched my heart, as it says exactly what I have been working through by the grace of God over the past few months. I need the Lord to continue, in every area of my life, to remove the things that do not glorify Him. It can be painful and difficult, but Oh, so necessary!
