INTRO
VERSE 1
I know who I am ‘cause I know who
You are
The cross of salvation was only
the start
Now I am chosen, I’m free and
forgiven
I have a future and it’s
worth the living
You are
The cross of salvation was only
the start
Now I am chosen, I’m free and
forgiven
I have a future and it’s
worth the living
CHORUS
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
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

Made For More - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
Josh Baldwin's "Made For More" is a powerful anthem that reminds us of our divine purpose and identity in Christ. The song echoes the sentiments of Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." The lyrics, "I know who I am ‘cause I know who You are," reflect the profound truth that our identity is deeply rooted in our understanding of who God is and what He has done for us.
The song's chorus, "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," resonates with Romans 6:4, "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." This verse and the song's lyrics both emphasize the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, not just in a historical sense, but in our personal lives. We are not meant to dwell in the graves of our past mistakes, regrets, or shame. Instead, we are called to a new life, a life of purpose, grace, and freedom in Christ.
The bridge of the song, "Hallelujah, You called out my name, So I’ll sing out Your praise, Hallelujah, You buried my past, Oh I’m not going back," is a joyful declaration of the freedom we have in Christ. It mirrors the sentiment of Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." God has not only forgiven our sins but has also removed them completely, giving us a fresh start and a new identity in Him.
As we listen to this song and reflect on these scriptures, let's ask ourselves: Are we living in the fullness of our identity in Christ? Are we embracing the freedom and purpose that comes with being a child of God? Or are we still tending to the graves of our past, allowing shame and regret to hold us back from the abundant life God has for us? Remember, we were made for more. We were made for a life of purpose, freedom, and joy in Christ. Let's step into that truth today.
