Behind the song

A song about weakness and being chosen anyway. We break, fall short and chase quick applause, but God calls us by name, not by our failure or shame. His strength shows up in our weakness, so we bring Him everything we are.

Flesh and Bone lyrics

I break, I bend, I bruise, I ache Promises I fail to make Yet You call me by my name Not by failure, not by shame If weakness is where glory shows Then here I am in flesh and bone Flesh and bone and borrowed breath Chosen still in life and death I won’t pretend I’ve got it sewn I’ll bring You all my flesh and bone I’m tempted by the quick applause Trade conviction for a cause Pull me back to what is real Nail-pierced hands and honest steel You didn’t pick the polished throne You wore a cross to call me home Flesh and bone and borrowed breath Chosen still in life and death I won’t pretend I’ve got it sewn I’ll bring You all my flesh and bone Flesh and bone… and borrowed breath Chosen still in life and death
