[Verse 1]
Cold steel in the vice
Hammer sings, every strike, every scar
I was ore in the dark
Just a weight, just a flaw in the bar
Heat climbs, I breathe smoke
Every dream turning black in the flame
You press down, I see stars
Hear a name I am scared to proclaim
[Chorus]
I am metal in the Master’s hands
Bent and broken till I understand
All these pressures, all this hurt I feel
Turn my bones into a servant’s steel
I am driven, I am dragged through fire
Cracked and crying, but You lift me higher
Every trial, every wound I bear
Makes me pray for mercy there
[Verse 2]
Bills stacked like rust
Thick dust on a half-read page
Phone lights, bad news
Thin fuse, thick rope, quiet rage
Teeth grind through the night
Old doubts like a chain on my chest
Knees hit hard floor
Harsh breath, rough words, no rest
[Chorus]
I am metal in the Master’s hands
Bent and broken till I understand
All these pressures, all this hurt I feel
Turn my bones into a servant’s steel
I am driven, I am dragged through fire
Cracked and crying, but You lift me higher
Every trial, every wound I bear
Makes me pray for mercy there
[Bridge]
Beat me down, You’re beating shape (hey!)
Every flaw You flame and scrape
If I scream, then let it be
“Use this wreck of a soul for Thee”
[Chorus]
I am metal in the Master’s hands
Bent and broken till I understand
All these pressures, all this hurt I feel
Turn my bones into a servant’s steel
I am driven, I am dragged through fire
Cracked and crying, but You lift me higher
Every trial, every wound I bear
Makes me pray for mercy there (mercy there)
