I heard this song by Addison Road recently and I immediately was drawn to it because of how much I could relate to it. I could have written it myself. That is if I had any sort of musical talent, which I don’t. Anyways, I digress. I like this song because it makes me feel normal that I’m not perfect, that I don’t have it all together and that I’m in process. I’m under construction, I’m being chipped away, torn down, molded and bended into something new by the Great Construction Manager. My pride is being broken and my prayer is that every day I’m closer to who He wants me to be. He sees the big picture. He’s the only one who sees what the final project will be. My job is to let it happen. But don’t we all know that is easier said than done. I’m thankful for the grace that I find in my own redemption story each and every day. By His grace alone I can go forward to then next day of construction.
I am a change in the making!
There’s a better version of meThat I can’t quite see
But things are gonna change
Right now I’m a total mess and
Right now I’m completely incomplete
But things are gonna change
Cause you’re not through with me yet
This is redemption’s story
With every step that I’m taking
Every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
This is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
And every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be
I’m a change in the making
Wish I could live more patiently
Wish I could give a little more of me
Without stopping to think twice
Wish I had faith like a little child
Wish I could walk a single mile
Without tripping on my own feet
But you’re not through with me yet
And this is redemption’s story
With every step that I’m taking
And every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
This is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
Every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be
From the dawn of history
You make new and you redeem
From a broken world to a broken heart
You finish what you start in everything
Like a river rolls into the sea
We’re not who we’re going to be
But things are going to change
I’m living redemption’s story
With every step that I’m taking
And every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
And this is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
And every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be
I’m a change in the making
I’m not who I’m gonna be
Moving closer to your glory
