But it’s true – we really are made for more.
More than what the world tells us.
More than what the world would have us believe.
In those moments when it feels like life is overwhelming, Psalm 56:8 reminds us:
“You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”
Each tear, each challenge, each moment of doubt is seen and held.
Even in times of struggle, we are being shaped for something more — something deeper, something meaningful.
It’s easy to forget in the busyness of life, but we are made for greater purpose.
Not by the world’s standards, but by a divine design.
One that calls us toward something more authentic, more fulfilling, and more aligned with who we are meant to be.
Lyrics:
I know who I am ‘cause I know who You are
The cross of salvation was only the start
Now I am chosen, free and forgiven
I have a future and it’s worth the living
‘Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave
I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again
I was made for more
So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way
I know I am Yours
And I was made for more
(repeat)
Oh hallelujah
You called out my name
So I’ll sing out Your praise
Hallelujah
You buried my past
And I’m not going back
Hallelujah
You called out my name
I’ll sing out Your praise
Hallelujah
You buried my past
I’m not going back
‘Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave
I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again
I was made for more
So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way
I know I am Yours
I was made for more
I know I am Yours
I was made for more

“Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
In that day you will say:
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.
Shout around and sing for joy, people of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
Isaiah 12:2-6
