Diamonds

Today's song is 'Diamonds' by Hawk Nelson. Did you know diamonds are made of pure carbon? They form over millions of years when carbon is put under extreme pressure and heat deep within the earth. As I was researching diamonds I found this quote, "Rough diamonds are rare. And they are the hardest known natural substance. But in their raw form they are remarkably unremarkable! It is only through the diamond craftmanship of man that the full beauty of a diamond can be observed."  Isn't that amazing! Only in the hands of a craftsman does a diamond become beautiful. 

God is working his master craftsmanship in us. In our natural form we are remarkably unremarkable! But with His Spirit working within us, we become a unique and amazing pure diamond.  He knows just what it will take for us to draw close to him. He knows just what pressures it will take to make us sparkle and shine as he polishes away our rough spots! He is making diamonds out of us!

Lyrics:
Here and now I'm in the fire, in above my head
Being held under the pressure, don't know what will be left
But it's here in the ashes
I'm finding treasure

He's making diamonds 
Making diamonds
He's making diamonds out of dust
He is refining
And in his timing
He's making diamonds out of us

I'll surrender to the power of being crushed by love
‘Til the beauty that was hidden isn't covered up
It's not what I hoped for
It's something much better

Oh The Joy of the Lord
It will be my strength
When the pressure is on
He's making Diamonds

I won't be afraid to shine
I won't be afraid to shine
I won't be afraid to shine

‘Cuz He's making diamonds out of dust
Making diamonds out of us
