Shaped From His Hands

lyrics

Now I've been dreaming bout
this moment for a very long time
If you seen where I'm from
you probably never
thought I'd shine
Cause I done been
through the pressure
I done seen a lot of storm
but it took a long time for
this diamond to form
I was shaped from His hands
grew up in the struggle
Mama said read daddy said hustle
All I want to do was dream
all I had was a dream
and I had to Cleave(s) to it
like my name was Mateen
School of hardknocks where
I graduated
Some died young I'm
thankful that I even made it
God was knocking on my soul
but I loved sinning
Grace weaving through my
heart like its fine linen
Big Mama used to make me
go to church a lot
But back then God's
Word wasn't worth a lot
To my heart and my mind
Its funny how they now mean
more to me than mine
Grind young fella keep your feet
to the concrete
Go hard for the King and
don't be discreet
I'm feeling like Martin if
they need a speech
Then I givem all my dreams
over every beat
Dream on dream on like
my name Stephen (Tyler)
If it wasn't for His Grace
I wouldn't be breathing.
Shaped from the Wood
made into the Cross
And a hill out on Calvary
I know the cost
Nails in His hands
man He hung and bled
My flatline jumped when
He was pronounced dead
So keep dreaming even
when life's hard
We don't live by bread alone
but the Word of God
A pen and a pad
That's what I was given
I know He gave you gifts too
Tell me why you living
A pen and a pad
That's what I was given
I know He gave you gifts too
Tell me why you living
