YOU ARE SHAPING ME
(Verse 1)
Not by striving, not by strength,
But by the grace that carries me,
A path unknown, a way unseen,
Yet You remain my guide.
(Verse 2)
In every season, through every test,
I will lean into Your name,
Not in fear, not in doubt,
But in the grace that leads me on.
(Verse 3)
Teach my heart to know You more,
To seek the wisdom of Your way,
To walk with patience, step by step,
And trust in all You are.
(Verse 4)
Until the day when all is clear,
And faith is sight before the throne,
I will stand and I will grow,
For You are shaping me.
(Chorus)
Grow me deep, lead me on,
Let my life reflect Your truth,
Not for self, not for gain,
But for the glory of Your name.
