Bebo Norman The Hammer Holds

really nice video, thanks for sharing. feel free to check out my cover of bebo's "i know now" on youtube

i heard this song last night at church. it was sang by one of the guys up there and it really caught my attention

I recently found this song and had been listening to it without actually really listening. I finally googled the song and read the lyrics and it made me cry. What a beautiful song...just WOW...

i love this song i heard it at a concert

mrthejake: it won't cost you anything...ya know? it's a gift...the price already paid by jesus' death on the cross...just hold on tightly to his hand, walk with him, love is the greatest command - all else will come into place with guidance through his word. god bless you!!

my hero. Bebo!

I am a Blacksmith and this song is just so amazing. It is so true and is really true.

ppl need to get to know bebo norman i mean a lot more ppl

The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man

Chorus

This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my maker holds

The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man

Chorus

This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my maker holds

And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see

Chorus

And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see

Chorus

A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find

So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds

i saw this and his friend the play that one instrument ya they were good when i saw them like sep-oct 06

I just read the lyrics to this song while I was listening to it, and it brought tears to my eyes. It is such a beautifully crafted song, and so captivating. I feel like I'm in that same situation, wanting to do God's will so badly, but unsure of how much that will cost. It helps to know that Jesus is there with me, feeling my pain, and that the future "my Maker holds."
