They ask God to melt and mold them, to fill and use them for His purpose. In the spoken word segment that follows, the band member prays for those who have suffered from rape, suicide, child molestation, and broken hearts, acknowledging the struggles they may face in life. They offer hope and encouragement, urging them to not give up and assuring them that there is a better way. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the plea for the Spirit of God to come and bring renewal and transformation in their life. They ask God to melt them, mold them, and make them the person He wants them to be.
