Song Lyrics

In His Image

Theme: Celebrating God’s intentional design and challenging the cultural narrative that we can self-define.

Verse 1 – (Current Condition)

I hear the world say I can be whoever I choose
But my heart’s grown weary from chasing every view
They tell me self-expression is freedom’s only way
Yet deep inside, I’m longing for truth that want betray

 (Reference: Genesis 1:27, Psalm 86:11)

Chorus – (Worship the Lord in the Condition)

Yeshua, my Designer, You formed me from the start
No label can replace the mark You etched upon my heart
El Shaddai, I lift my praise from deep within my soul
“In Your image, I am known”—that truth makes me whole

 (Reference: Psalm 139:13-14)

Chorus – (Worship the Lord in the Condition)

Yeshua, my Designer, You formed me from the start
No label can replace the mark You etched upon my heart
El Shaddai, I lift my praise from deep within my soul
“In Your image, I am known”—that truth makes me whole

 (Reference: Psalm 139:13-14)

Verse 2 – (Repent)

I’ve bowed to modern idols, letting culture shape my mind
Ruach HaKodesh, break the chains that kept me blind
I turn from empty promises, from voices that misled
And run back to the safety of each word that You have said

 (Reference: 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Romans 12:2)

Chorus – (Worship the Lord)

Yeshua, my Creator, I worship You alone
El Shaddai, restore my heart, make Your purpose known
In every fear and doubt, Your truth remains the same
I stand in holy wonder, sealed in Your great Name

 (Reference: Colossians 1:16-17)

Chorus – (Worship the Lord)

Yeshua, my Redeemer, show me who I’m meant to be
El Shaddai, wrap me in grace, in truth that sets me free
No longer bound by fear—Your Word will be my guide
“In His image, I’m alive,” forever glorified

 (Reference: John 1:14, John 8:36)

Outro – (Blessing)

YHWH Shalom, breathe peace upon this heart
You’ve called me from the start, set me apart

Surmon Notes

🔥 Sermon: Made in His Image, Called by His Name

🌿 1. You Were Formed With God’s Fingerprints

There is a truth older than your first breath, deeper than your deepest insecurity, and stronger than every lie that’s ever been spoken over you: You were made in the image of God. Not after you came to Christ. Not once you got your life together. From the beginning—before you spoke your first word—He called you His own.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” — Genesis 1:27

This foundational declaration isn’t poetic fluff—it is divine fact. It’s what the enemy fears the most. Because if you believe you’re an accident, you’ll live aimlessly. But if you believe you’re a masterpiece, you’ll live on mission. Your existence carries the essence of the One who formed galaxies with a word. That means your identity isn’t something you earn—it’s something you reflect.

Psalm 139 tells us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Not generically. Not interchangeably. Wonderfully. Fearfully. Formed by El Shaddai with care, precision, and purpose. And the mark of that design is seen not just in your strengths, but also in your scars—because His redemptive hand touches every part of your story.

You are not a self-made project. You are a God-breathed creation. Stop striving to be someone you’re not. You are already known, already chosen, already called by name.

🔥 2. The Battle for Identity Is the Battle for Worship

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” — Romans 12:2

The song “In His Image” doesn’t shy away from the cultural pressure surrounding identity. From social media feeds to ideological movements, the world offers us endless labels. “Be whoever you want.” “Define your own truth.” But scripture gently and urgently calls us higher: to be who God already says we are.

That tension is real. It’s exhausting to chase every trend, to try on different personas hoping one finally feels like home. But that home has a name—and it’s not fame, or affirmation, or self-expression. It’s Jesus. Yeshua, our Creator and Redeemer, who doesn’t just tolerate us—He restores us.

This is where worship comes in. The lyrics cry out, “Yeshua, my Designer… El Shaddai, I lift my praise…” Worship in this context isn’t merely a response to emotion. It’s a weapon. A turning. A resistance against the pressure to conform. When we worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:24), we dethrone the idols that promised freedom but delivered chains. We lay down false identities and receive the one that never fades: image-bearer.

Let this truth settle deep: Your worship is most powerful when it comes from the place of realigned identity. Not performance. Not perfection. But presence.

🕊️ 3. You Are Called to Reflect and Release His Glory

“But we all… are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 3:18

There is something profoundly prophetic about knowing you’re made in God’s image. It means your life carries a visible imprint of His invisible nature. You reflect Him when you create beauty, when you extend grace, when you love unconditionally, when you speak truth in love. Your very existence tells a story about the One who formed you.

But it doesn’t stop at reflection. The song declares, “In His image, I’m alive, forever glorified.” We don’t just bear His image—we bear His authority. We are representatives of Heaven on Earth. And that calls us into a life of boldness, clarity, and healing. Worship becomes more than music—it becomes our movement, our mindset, our mandate.

When we embrace our identity in Christ, we stop living from insecurity and start living from intimacy. The Ruach HaKodesh fills us with courage to reject lies, to stand in freedom, and to call others into theirs. This isn’t just personal—it’s generational. Your breakthrough becomes someone else’s freedom. Your clarity becomes a light in someone else’s confusion.

You were made in His image. You are becoming more like Him. And you are called to reveal Him.

Prayer

Abba Father, You are the Master Designer, and I am Your handiwork. Thank You for forming me with purpose, placing Your breath in my lungs, and writing truth over every part of me.

Forgive me for believing lesser names—labels handed down by pain, pressure, or people. Today I lay them at Your feet. I receive the name You’ve spoken from the beginning: image-bearer, beloved, called, set apart.

Yeshua, thank You for redeeming what was lost. For restoring what was fractured. I worship You—not because I have it all together, but because You hold all things together (Colossians 1:17).

Ruach HaKodesh, breathe on me again. Renew my mind. Heal my heart. Let my life reflect Your glory. Let my worship carry freedom into the lives of others.

In Your image, I rise. In Your truth, I walk. In Your grace, I will live and lead. In Yeshua’s name, amen.

🎵 Cue gentle intro music 🎵

Welcome, beloved friends. You’ve tuned into a sacred space—where worship meets truth, and identity is reclaimed. I’m so thankful you’re here with me for this special episode, where we’ll journey into the heart of a powerful song from the *Fearfully and Wonderfully Made* album. Today, we reflect on “In His Image”—a song that doesn’t just speak to our ears, but to the very core of who we are. So, take a breath. Open your heart. And let the Spirit of God minister to you as we remember who formed us and whose likeness we carry.

👑 His Kingship Is Eternal

🎶 Instrumental swell 🎶

In Genesis 1:27, we read that God created mankind in His own image. Not in part, not by accident, but with intention and reverence. This foundational truth dismantles every lie that says you are random, unloved, or unseen. The Creator didn’t outsource your design—He formed you personally, as a reflection of His glory.

The song “In His Image” sings this truth with power: “Yeshua, my Designer, You formed me from the start.” There is something holy about that line. Because it points to a God who not only created us but delights in us. He wrote your design with joy. His name—El Shaddai—is etched upon your soul. You were made to reflect Him. You were made to worship.

🙌 Surrender Is the Sound of Worship

🎶 Cue brief instrumental interlude 🎶

The second verse confesses something we’ve all wrestled with: “I’ve bowed to modern idols…” In a world shouting, “Be whoever you want,” we’re invited back to the Word that whispers, “Be who I created you to be.”

Romans 12:2 urges us not to conform, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That transformation begins in repentance. Not shame-filled, but soul-freeing. Ruach HaKodesh—our Holy Spirit helper—breaks the chains of confusion and comparison. He breathes clarity where there’s chaos.

Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s the moment worship begins to rise from truth. It’s choosing to lay down what culture says and pick up what Heaven says. It’s not about chasing a trend, but standing in the eternal. And that’s what makes this song prophetic—it calls us out of labels and back into likeness.

🛡️ Intercession: When Worship Becomes Warfare

🎵 Pause. Let Holy Spirit bring names to mind 🎵

Did you feel the shift in the bridge? The lyrics move from confession to intercession: “Draw every wandering child back to Your light…”

This is where worship becomes warfare. Not with swords, but with songs. Not with fists, but with faith. As image-bearers of Christ, we stand in the gap—not just for ourselves but for the lost, the confused, the weary. This is holy ground, friends. This is what it means to reflect God’s nature—interceding as He does, loving as He loves.

2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us that we’re being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory. And as we worship, that transformation becomes a beacon for others. You become the voice that calls someone else out of confusion and into freedom. You become the reflection that helps them see the face of Jesus.

🌍 Final Reflections: A Life That Crowns Him Daily

What does it look like to live “In His Image”? It means waking up every day and remembering: I don’t have to perform. I don’t have to impress. I just have to reflect. To worship. To walk with Him.

Psalm 100 says, “Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who made us, and not we ourselves.” In a world full of self-made identities, this is freedom. We are His. Fully known. Fully loved. Fully purposed.

So, here’s what I ask of you today:

• What labels have you been wearing that God never gave you?

• Where do you need to return to His voice and His truth?

• Who needs you to stand in intercession and remind them of who they are?

🎶 Soft outro music begins 🎶

🙏 Closing Prayer

Abba Father, thank You for forming us in Your image. Thank You for placing Your likeness within our hearts. Today, we surrender every false label, every fear, every moment we’ve tried to define ourselves apart from You.

Yeshua, You are the Word made flesh. The truth that sets us free. Speak over us again—our true name, our true design. Let our worship rise from that place of identity and wholeness.

Ruach HaKodesh, we ask You to renew our minds. Break the power of lies, silence the noise of the world, and draw us into the safety of Your Word. Let us walk boldly, live freely, and reflect You clearly.

And Lord, we don’t just pray this for ourselves—we intercede for those around us. For the ones who are still striving, still hurting, still unsure. Call them home. Show them their worth. Let them hear the truth that we are all made in Your image and called by Your Name.

In Yeshua’s name we pray, amen.
