Bear the Master's Image
IdentityCallingSurrender
A modern folk meditation on the Refiner’s patient fire: God meets us rough as river stone, raises what does not belong, and forms a life that reflects the face of Christ. Seven days of learning to trust the flame, the process, and the faithful One who never looks away.
"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
A song for the road you're on.

Bear the Master’s Image Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] Came in rough as river stone Clay and iron in my bones Didn't shine, didn't know my name Just another piece of earth and shame Then the fire found me, slow and sure Heat that only love could endure Dross rose up and I could see What was never meant to stay in me [Chorus] Till I bear the Master's image Till the gold comes shining through Every trial, every furnace Is the fire that makes me true He sits watching, patient, holy Till His face is all I show I will bear the Master's image That's the only way I know [Verse 2] In the crucible of midnight hours When the heat don't ask, it just consumes He don't look away, He don't rush the flame He just waits until the metal blooms What I thought was me went up in smoke Pride and fear and all the cheap alloy What is left is proven, tried, and true More than gold, the kind flames can't destroy [Chorus] Till I bear the Master's image Till the gold comes shining through Every trial, every furnace Is the fire that makes me true He sits watching, patient, holy Till His face is all I show I will bear the Master's image That's the only way I know [Bridge] He will sit as a refiner Purifying silver and gold When He sees His own reflection He knows the work is done Coming forth as gold Coming forth as gold [Final Chorus] I will bear the Master's image Let the gold come shining through Every trial, every furnace Was the fire that made me true He sat watching, patient, holy Now His face is all I show I will bear the Master's image That's the only way I know
