Chip Away (Official Lyric Video)- Shadrack James featuring Alexis Reeves

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:
The inspiration for this song is the story of Michelangelo making his most famous statue the David and how it relates to our relationship with God. The marble Michelangelo carved the David out of was in very bad shape because it had sat outside exposed to the weather for 26 years. In 1500, an inventory of the cathedral workshops described the piece as "a certain figure of marble called David, badly blocked out and supine." No one thought it was useable until Michelangelo gave his go at it. He freed his masterpiece from the stone, a stone that was essentially worthless, and it became the most famous statue in the entire world. In the same way, but way better, the Father takes us and crafts us into a new creation, a masterpiece for all the world to see! He chips away all of our sins and all the other things holding us down so that we can go into the world just like Ephesians 2:10 says "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we. can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

LYRICS:
You chip away and free your masterpiece
From the stone
An unformed forgettable mess
Being sculpted into something beautiful

You carve with elegance and skill I'll never comprehend
You break the sins off me with grace
Yes your making me into something wonderful

You Chip away my past regrets and pain
You Chip away all the things that've brought me shame
You chip away all the condemning lies that the enemy gave
Oh You chip away
Yes chip away
(Ooh ooh)
Woah ooh yeah

You chose the rejected stone that no one thought was useable
But in your power you proved them wrong
Yes you made me into something meaningful

You Chip away my past regrets and pain
You Chip away all the things that've brought me shame
You chip away all the condemning lies that the enemy gave
Oh You chip away
Yes chip away
(Ooh ooh)
Woah ooh ooh

I'm fearfully and wonderfully made yeah
Where I'm weak he will bring himself fame yeah
From the dust I was crafted in his image 
I'm the apple of his eye
Yes he's filled me with the spirit

I'm fearfully and wonderfully made yeah
Where I'm weak he will bring himself fame yeah
From the dust I was crafted in his image 
I'm the apple of his eye
Yes he's filled me with the spirit

Yeah
