My heart is laid Under Your blade As you carve out Your image in me You cut to the core But still you want more As you carefully, tenderly ravage me
And You peel back the bark And tear me apart To get to the heart Of what matters most I’m cold and I’m scared As your love lays me bare But in the shaping of my soul The cut makes me whole
Mingling here Your blood and my tears As You whittle my kingdom away But I see that you suffer, too In making me new For the blade of Love, it cuts both ways
As You peel back the bark And tear me apart To get to the heart Of what matters most I’m cold and I’m scared As your love lays me bare But in the shaping of my soul The cut makes me whole
Hidden inside the grain Beneath the pride and pain Is the shape of the man You meant me to be Who with every cut now you try to set free
Come Now Set Me Free You peel back the bark And tear me apart To get to the heart Of what matters most I’m cold and I’m scared As your love lays me bare And Every day you strip me away.
CHORUS… …With everyday You strip more away And You peel back the bark And tear me apart To get to the heart Of what matters most I’m cold and I’m scared As your love lays me bare But in the shaping of my soul The blade must take it’s toll So God give me strength to know That the cut makes me whole The cut makes me whole
