The Way I Was Made

Lately, I've been taking walks around the neighborhood to get some fresh air, exercise and some extra time with the Lord. I usually listen to sermons on my ipod. (Ladies, if you haven't heard Carolyn Mahaney's messages on Sovereign Grace Ministries' website I'd HIGHLY recommend it!) Today, though, I listened to some music. "The Way I Was Made" by Chris Tomlin has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard the album. Its even my ringtone right now. As I listened to it today though I couldn't help noticing that it really fits my heart cry. God's been teaching me a lot about who He is, full trust and dependence on Him and living a life on fire for His Glory. He's been convicting me of the areas of my life He wants control of to mold me into the image of His Son. Although at times this stretching and trying of my faith has been difficult, I've loved the effect of seeing more of God's heart for me.
I was made to glorify God, I was made to worship and praise Him, I was made to seek Him and follow His will for my life. I'm a daughter of the King. I want to live like I have both a great inheritance and a great responsibility. I want to be "the way I was made"......


Caught in the half-light
I'm caught alone
Waking up to the sunrise
And the radio
Feels like I'm tied up
What's holding me?
Just praying today will be the day
I go free

CHORUS:
I want to live like there's no tomorrow
I want to dance like no one's around
I want to sing like nobody's listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I'm not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made

VERSE(2):
Made in your likeness
Made with your hands
Made to discover who you are
And who I am
All I've forgotten, help me to find
All that you've promised let it be
In my life

CHORUS


I want to be the way I was made
I want to be the way I was made
I want to be the way I was made
~C. Tomlin
