You are more than chemicals reacting without meaning; more than atoms and energy; not millions of years of copy errors that survived. You are human being, a work of the hands of God, designed for a purpose.
lyrics
I'm not a monkey, I'm not an accident
I'm not the product of a hundred million years of meaningless happenstance.
I'm not an animal, no mindless automaton,
and I cannot be explained away as a simple series of chemical phenomenon, oh no.
I am His workmanship
Fearfully and wonderfully made
I am His workmanship
In awe of the price that He paid for me
I'm not a statistic, I'm not a victim,
I'm not the inevitable consequence of failures inherent in the system.
I am His workmanship
Fearfully and wonderfully made
I am His workmanship
In awe of the price that He paid for me
There's a seal upon your heart you bear
You're the master's work of art, prepared
for the road ahead in this life and beyond.
You are his workmanship...
You are his workmanship
Fearfully and wonderfully made
You are his workmanship
Be in awe of the price that He paid for you.
We are His workmanship
Instruments in the Master's hands
We are His workmanship
And I know that He's got a plan
for us to save us and not harm us
If we follow and abide in Him...
