The Chisel

I thought that pedestals were for heroes
But I can tell that's not what You've got in mind
From here this looks just like a potter's wheel
I thought I was already designed
But now I see, You've just gotten started
A sculpture takes a long time to make
I'm not sure I know what I'm saying
But whatever You must do, I will take

Oh, bring on the chisel if that's Your desire
If You think I need it, I'll go through the fire
If I'll be like Jesus and this is required
Father, I want the chisel

I know You're shaping me in your imagе
I'm being fashioned by Your hand
Nevеr thought this would be so painful
God, this pain is not what I planned
By my desire to be a vessel of honor
Is greater than the suffering I feel
I am the clay and You are the potter
I'll let You do the work of the wheel

Oh, bring on the chisel if that's Your desire
If You think I need it, I'll go through the fire
If I'll be like Jesus and this is required
Father, I want the chisel

Oh, bring on the chisel if it's Your desire
If You think I need it, I'll go through the fire
If I'll be like Jesus and this is required
Father, Father
Oh, Father, I want the chisel

I want the chisel
I want the chisel
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la, la, la
I want the chisel

Bring on the chisel if it's Your desire
If You think I need it, Lord
I want the chisel
Bring on the chisel if it's Your desire
If You think I need it, Lord
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la, la, la
I want the chisel
