Lyrics
He Does Not Make Junk
story behind the song
Inspired by the Skit Guys' video "God's Chisel" and Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
You think you're like a paper
Crumpled on the ground.
You think you're like a shaker
That can't make any sound.
Where did these thoughts come from?
Who put them in your head?
Will you listen to me tell you
You're so much more than this?
You were formed by the hands of God,
A beautiful creation, you're the one He dearly loves.
Don't believe anyone who says you're not enough,
For I know God doesn't make junk.
You think you're like a train
Without any wheels.
You think you're like a cure
That doesn't really heal.
You think you're like a building,
Meant to be so tall,
But unable to stand strong
Due to one fatal flaw.
You were formed by the hands of God,
A beautiful creation, you're the one He dearly loves.
Don't believe anyone who says you're not enough,
For I know God doesn't make junk.
He doesn't make junk.
Where did these thoughts come from?
Who put them in your head?
Will you listen to me tell you
You're so much more than this?
You were formed by the hands of God,
A beautiful creation, you're the one He dearly loves.
Don't believe anyone who says you're not enough,
For I know God doesn't make junk.
You were formed by the hands of God,
A beautiful creation, you're the one He dearly loves.
Don't believe anyone who says you're not enough,
For I know God doesn't make junk.
Please believe me when I say
You were made to be
So much more than you think you are,
For you are a masterpiece,
A masterpiece,
A masterpiece,
A masterpiece.
You are God's masterpiece.
You think you're like a rag,
Full of dirt and muck,
But God Himself is telling you
That He does not make junk.
