Can you take a broken soul
I said, can you take a heart that isn’t whole
Oh, Lord, I — I’ve — lost control
Can you love what’s torn and scarred
I said, can you love what’s bruised and marred
Oh—h, Lord… I’m failin’… hard
There’s only one with boundless grace
Perfect and pure, yet you embrace
By your blood, you’ve made me whole
Oh, yeah, you’ve saved my soul
Can you love one who’s gone astray
I said, can you love one who’s lost their way
You’re truth and light, but I chose gray
Could you bear my shame and pain
Oh, how could you wear my guilt and stain
You took my scars, now I’m changed
There’s only one with boundless grace
Perfect and pure, yet you embrace
By your blood, you’ve made me whole
Oh, yeah, you’ve saved my soul
You come close, though I’m frail
With love so strong, it tears the veil
And here I stand, broken but you’ve won
In your mercy, I see the son
In your holiness, I find my rest
Oh, in your holiness, I find my rest
Though I’m unworthy, I know I’m blessed
Ain’t a thing I did, no, nothin’ in me
Oh, ain’t a thing in this world but your mercy
It’s your love that holds on to me
There’s only one with boundless grace
Perfect and pure, yet you embrace
By your blood, you’ve made me whole
Oh, yeah, you’ve saved my soul
It tears me apart–Gettin’ it wrong
Sin weighin’ on my heart for so long
You’ve called me to rise, to be set free
I’m reachin’ out for Your love–heal me
You’ve called me to be free
To heal inna broken place
I’m Reachin’ for your love
To find Your holy embrace
Restore me in the storm
The war I fight within
Lead me down the narrow path
Where Your grace begins
Teach me true love
In heart and body too
Hold’n fast to right
It’s what you’ve said to do
Lord give me strength
from up above
To live this call
To embrace holy love
Restore me in the storm
The war I fight within
Lead me down the narrow path
Where Your grace begins
The tempter stirs lust and lies
Whispers tryin’ to make ya cry
Aimin’ to break sacred bonds
By corruptin’ love with lies
Guard my eyes, my restless mind
From shadows leadin’ astray
In Your light, I’ll seek the truth
And choose to walk Your way
You call me whole and free
A temple, clean and true
Paid in full, I bear Your name
Livin’ now in You
O Lord, renew this heart of mine
In this quiet fight within
Walk with me through every step
To where Your grace begins
A mighty fortress is my God
A wall that won’t be failin’
He’s my help when the floods rise up
Through life’s ills prevailin’
But there’s a foe lurkin’ ’round
Pullin’ me down
He’s got power he’s got tricks
Ain’t nothin’ on earth his equal
I’m not leanin’ on my own strength
‘Cause that’d just leave me losin’
I got the right Man on my side
The one of God’s own choosin’
Who is He? You ask His name
Christ Jesus He’s the same
Lord of Hosts our King of might
Always here winning the fight
His word above all earthly power
No thanks to foesyet I stand this hour
His Spirit’s here His gifts are mine
Through Him who won for all time
So I’ll let my goods and family go
Even this life below
Devil tries to tear me down
But the truth keeps me hangin’ round
God’s Kingdom oh it’s forever yeah
I’m not leanin’ on my own strength
‘Cause that’d just leave me losin’
I got the right Man on my side
The one of God’s own choosin’
I’m not leanin’ on my own strength
‘Cause that’d just leave me losin’
I got the right Man on my side
The one of God’s own choosin’
When trouble’s due
And justice hides from view
Vengeance feels right
But mercy brings the light
I’ll Leave justice to the Lord
With clean hands
Free from vengeance, pride, and wrath
I’ll walk in David’s path
Not by strength of man
But a wise and gentle plan
With mercy’s reign, His truth will mend
And all wrongs right, as He intends
I’ll Leave justice to the Lord
With clean hands
Free from vengeance, pride, and wrath
I’ll walk in David’s path
David could’ve fought on his own
But left the fight to God alone
I’ll choose the path the righteous take
And let love make vengeance break
‘Cause all things work by His design
A woven grace through space and time
When tempers rise and pride takes flight
I’ll trust in Him, my Righteous Light
The Lamb who bore my guilt and shame
Who reigns in love and knows my name
I’ll Leave justice to the Lord
With clean hands
Free from vengeance, pride, and wrath
I’ll walk in David’s path
I wanna walk (I wanna walk)
I’ll walk in David’s path (in David’s path)
Perfect above all
Righteous and true
Creation is Your glory
By Your hands, made new
The fear of the Lord
Brightens my way
I walk in Your wisdom
Teach me to pray
May Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Forgive us, O Lord
As we forgive
Your Kingdom come
And will be done
On earth
As it is in heaven
Blessed are those
Who thirst for You
Fill me with Your Spirit
Mold me anew
You guide my steps
With Your gentle hands
You finish the work
That You began
May Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Forgive us, O Lord
As we forgive
Your Kingdom come
And will be done
On earth
As it is in heaven
Lord
Teach me to pray
Oh Lord
Teach me to pray
The meaning of life is found in love
A gift from the Father, sent from above
In the bond between husband and wife
You find Christ, the giver of life
In union, love is the key
More than a mystery, more than you and me
A bond that’s deeper in the Son
The secret’s simple, we’re one
Before the earth was formed, a plan was laid
God’s reunion with man, in love displayed
In marriage, we see this truth revealed
A covenant in Christ, forever sealed
In union, love is the key
More than a mystery, more than you and me
A bond that’s deeper in the Son
The secret’s simple, we’re one
This world is broken, hard to bear
But hold to Christ, He’s always there
In love and in strife, His grace will lead
A marriage built on Him, will succeed
In union, love is the key
More than a mystery, more than you and me
A bond that’s deeper in the Son
The secret’s simple, we’re one
As Christ leads the Church, so husbands lead
Wives, in respect, follow His creed
This mystery is profound, it’s love’s divine plan
It reflects Christ and His Church, in the union of man
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loves the Church
He gave Himself up, to cleanse and to serve
Washing her clean, in the Word of His grace
To present her in glory, in a holy embrace
As Christ and the Church are intertwined
So your hearts and souls align
In this sacred union, His grace is the key
Through Him alone, salvation is free
In Christ, the meaning of life is one
In union, love is the key
More than a mystery, more than you and me
A bond that’s deeper in the Son
The secret’s simple, we’re one
In Christ the meaning of life is one
I said, “God, where do I fit?
Feelin’ lost, can’t make it click.”
You said, “You’re My work, made in Christ
You’re not lost, just walk in the light.”
Not my story, not my glory
You called me to serve, not to worry
I’ll use what I’ve got, give all I can
Preppin’ the way for the wedding at hand
“Hallelujah!” (“Hallelujah”)
The Bride shines bright, where we belong
I said, “I get it, but don’t know how.”
You said, “Use your gifts, serve right now
Serve one another, for My glory
It’s not about you—spread My love, tell my story.”
Not my story, not my glory
You called me to serve, not to worry
I’ll use what I’ve got, give all I can
Preppin’ the way for the wedding at hand
“Hallelujah!” (“Hallelujah”)
The Bride shines bright, where we belong
I heard the waters roar with thunder
The voice of many, a sound of wonder
Dressed in linen, pure and bright
By truth spoken in love, we walk in light
Blessed are those at the Lamb’s feast
Where joy and grace have never ceased
Not my story, not my glory
You called me to serve, not to worry
I’ll use what I’ve got, give all I can
Preppin’ the way for the wedding at hand
“Hallelujah!” (“Hallelujah”)
The Bride shines bright, where we belong
I said, “I’ll serve, fill my heart,”
You said, “Blessed are those who take part.”
Hail His name, yeah, Jesus’ name
Every knee’s gonna bow, it’s all gonna change
When He calls, y’all, to that heavenly shore
Bring the crown, he’ll bring the glory—He’s the Lord we adore
Oh, crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
Grace and power—on my face I fall
Crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
He’s worthy—get on your face y’all
Saved by His mercy, pulled up from the fall
Cleansed by His blood—yeah, He saved us all
When that day comes, we’ll be truly new
With sin and sorrow we’re forever threw
Yeah, crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
Grace and power—on my face I fall
Crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
He’s worthy—get on your face y’all
When I walk through Heaven, that light shines clear
Fallin’ down at His feet, no shame, no fear
Joinin’ up with the angels, hearts made true
In that final glory, all things new
Yeah, crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
Grace and power—on my face I fall
Crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all
He’s worthy—get on your face y’all
Oh, crown Him, crown Him, yeah, yeah, Lord of all
One day we’ll see Him, Lord of all
Ain’t no pain, ain’t no sorrow, just His grace—
Yeah, Lord of all,
Lord of all…
Jesus—
Jesus—Lord of all!
Wrath reachin’ to the sky
Ten-thousand miles from side to side
A wave is comin’, crashin’ down
No way out—we’re gonna drown
Hangin’ on Calv’ry—in my place
Oh—oh, unbelievable grace
Judgment rises, ’bout to fall
But He drinks deep—and takes it all
Holy fire, come make us clean
In His glory—our guilt unseen
He bought us back, sin erased
In holy awe—we see His face
The weight of sin, too much to bear
But love reached out and met me there
Guilt was great, but love was more
Jesus paid it all, settlin’ my score
With outstretched hands, His grace poured free
He bore the wrath meant for me
He’s my shield, my hope, my life
Jesus paid a Holy price
Holy fire, come make us clean
In His glory—our guilt unseen
He bought us back, sin erased
In holy awe—we see His face
I bow before the throne of grace
Where wrath and love embrace
His wrath poured out, His Spirit within
In Christ—we’re free from sin
I stepped through the gates, so much light, so much grace
I never felt so whole, as in this place
As I laid down to rest, peace in my soul
Thinkin’ heaven’s love had made me whole
But when I wake, there’s a light so bright
A new dawn breaks in endless heights
And every day, a little more
I find more Jesus than the day before
I thought I’d seen it all, thought I’d reached the end
But grace keeps comin’, just around the bend
The beauty deepens, in ways I can’t explain
And heaven’s song begins again
But when I wake, there’s a light so bright
A new dawn breaks in endless heights
And every day, a little more
I find more Jesus than the day before
Each step closer, to love so divine
A place so pure, forever mine
With every breath, a new peace unfolds
In heaven’s arms, a joy untold
So when I wake, there’s a light so bright
A new dawn breaks in endless heights
And every day, just a little more
I find more Jesus than the day before
And in this love, I’m finally home
Where no one walks this road alone
Every day’s sweeter, that’s heaven’s way
A new beginning with each new day
Sanctification: Being shaped by the Potter
Unveiling the Biblical Tapestry
Shaped by the Potter: A Journey of Sanctification
God does not leave His children as they are. He forms them into the likeness of Christ through a process of grace-filled transformation. This album follows that journey—the shaping of a soul—from broken confession to steadfast joy.
Holy Embrace, drawing from Isaiah 57:15, opens with brokenness. It pleads for mercy and discovers that God revives the contrite and draws near to the crushed in spirit.
Battle Within, shaped by Romans 7:22–25, wrestles with the war between flesh and spirit. It cries out for deliverance and clings to grace that teaches us to walk in holiness.
Mighty Fortress, built on Psalm 46, draws strength from Scripture and the words of Martin Luther’s enduring hymn. It declares that sanctification depends not on our strength but on Christ, our refuge and champion in the fight.
Man After God’s Heart, grounded in 1 Samuel 24 and Matthew 5:7, embraces mercy over vengeance. It follows David’s example, trusting God to judge while keeping hands clean.
The Potter’s Hands, rooted in Jeremiah 18 and Romans 12:1–2, surrenders to the Lord’s shaping. It is a prayer to be formed, renewed, and led by the Spirit in wisdom and truth.
One, based on Ephesians 5:25–32, explores sanctification through covenant love. It reflects Christ’s union with the Church in the mutual giving of husband and wife.
A Wedding in Waiting, drawn from Revelation 19:7–8 and 1 Peter 4:10, calls the Church to prepare through love and service. We are not passive—we build, we bless, we await.
Crown Him, inspired by Philippians 2:9–11 and Revelation 5:12, celebrates the purpose of sanctification: to glorify Christ. All things bend toward His kingship.
Wrath Consumed, anchored in Isaiah 53 and Romans 3:25–26, remembers the cross. The wrath that should be ours fell on Him, making holiness possible.
Each New Dawn, echoing 2 Corinthians 3:18, ends with hope. Sanctification is ongoing. Every day we behold Christ, and every day we are changed.
