Before each beginning
There must be an ending
The longer and the tighter that we hold
Only makes it harder to let go
Only when we’re broken, are we whole
The beauty in the breaking
Had to lose myself
To find out who You are
I love this song!
How many times have we laid up those stones and built altars of things or people?
We worshipped those and thought that they would define us and make us who we are.
WRONG!
This is demolition day-embrace the unmaking.
Let God make you into His image and what He has envisioned for you. We don’t need to build altars, instead we lay it all down at His altar. There’s beauty in the breaking! Let God decide what goes and what stays.

The Unmaking – Nichole Nordeman
Lyrics:
This is where the walls gave way
This is demolition day
All the debris, and all this dust
What is left of what once was
Sorting through what goes and what should stay
Every stone I laid for You As if You had asked me to A monument to Holy things Empty talk and circling Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do
What happens now When all I’ve made is torn down What happens next When all of You, is all that’s left
This is the unmaking The beauty in the breaking Had to lose myself To find out who You are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking
The longer and the tighter that we hold Only makes it harder to let go But love will not stay locked inside A steeple or a tower high Only when we’re broken, are we whole
What happens now When all I’ve made is torn down
This is the unmaking The beauty in the breaking Had to lose myself To find out who You are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking This is the unmaking
I’ll gather the same stones where Everything came crashing down I’ll build You an altar there On the same ground
‘Cause what stood before Was never Yours
This is the unmaking The beauty in the breaking Had to lose myself To find out who You are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking This is the unmaking Oh, this is the unmaking
Had to lose myself To find out who You are
