Made For More

By NorthBridge Church in Antioch

“Made for More” by Bethel Music is a song that speaks about stepping into God’s calling and embracing the truth that we were created for a greater purpose. The lyrics emphasize trust in God, surrendering to His plans, and realizing that life is about more than what we see—it’s about His eternal promises and love. It’s an anthem of faith, purpose, and courage.

Do you relate to the themes in the song?

The video below showcases the worship band from our home church, NorthBridge Church in Antioch. Take a moment to listen and reflect on the powerful and beautifully written words of this praise.


Made For More

I know who I am ’cause I know who You are
The cross of salvation was only the start
Now I am chosen, free and forgiven
I have a future and it’s worth the living


‘Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again, I was made for more


So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way?
I know I am Yours, and I was made for more


I know who I am ’cause I know who You are
The cross of salvation was only the start
Now I am chosen, free and forgiven
I have a future and it’s worth the living


‘Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again, I was made for more


So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way?
I know I am Yours, and I was made for more


Hallelujah, You called out my name, so I’ll sing out Your praise


Hallelujah, You buried my past, I’m not going back


Hallelujah, You called out my name, so I’ll sing out Your praise


Hallelujah, You buried my past, I’m not going back


Cause I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was called by name Born and raised back to life again, I was made for more


So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way?
I know I am Yours, and I was made for more


(Come on, sing it out)

I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again, I was made for more


So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way?
I know I am Yours, and I was made for more

(Come on, hallelujah)


Oh, hallelujah, You called out my name, so I’ll sing out Your praise


Hallelujah, You buried my past, I’m not going back


Hallelujah, You called out my name, I’ll sing out Your praise
Signing hallelujah, You buried my past, I’m not going back


I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was called by name
Born and raised back to life again, I was made for more
Come on, sing it over yourself, oh


So why would I make a bed in my shame
When a fountain of grace is running my way?
I know I am Yours, and I was made for more (yeah)

    Life, in all its physical and metaphysical nuances, is indeed so much greater than we perceive with our physical senses and mental faculties. So, it’s so important to surrender to higher consciousness (God) and trust higher plans (sacred intelligent design). Beautiful music, with lyrics full of meaning. Thank you for sharing, Willie! Reinforcing our faith is always needed. Infinite light and divine blessings to you, my friend, today and always*

    It is a strong reminder to let go and trust, even when it is not clear what to do next. The song makes me want to live bravely and accept the purpose He has for each of us.

    The way you always remind us to focus on gratitude, reflection, and the deeper connection with God is so grounding. Your words inspire such a sense of stillness and purpose in a busy world. Something we always forger these days. I try to reflect similar reminders in my blog as you know—encouraging others to pause, find clarity, and prioritize what truly matters in their own lives. So I am grateful we have crossed paths and support each other. Thank you for sharing this wisdom that resonates so deeply for so many here.

I give All Glory and Praise to God, I am but a humble servant. I love how you do the same through your blog—creating space for others to pause, reflect, and focus on what truly matters.
      I’m truly grateful our paths have crossed too and that we can support one another in this journey.
      Your words are such an encouragement, and I’m thankful for you.
      Be Blessed and Continue to be a Blessing.

    Willie, great post, brother! Great sing, loved the vocals… the “you buried my past, I’m not going back,” was so powerful. So many times we beat ourselves up (or something else whispers in our ear) look at all that bad stuff I did, God can’t forgive me… but it’s a lie, Jesus HAS buried our past as far as East is from west, and there is no condemnation for any who are in Him!

    Loved the pix… could I be mistaken… or did I see two ✌️ Oregon Ducks jerseys? 😎😂

      WoW, Thank you for Reading and for such a beautiful response. That line, you buried my past, I’m not going back, really hit me hard too. It’s such a powerful reminder that no matter how much we beat ourselves up or let lies whisper in our ears, Jesus has truly buried our past, and we are free in Him.

      I’m so glad the pictures and song came together the way they did, it felt like such a divine moment.

      And yes, you’re right about the jerseys 😎 I thought about using another team jersey, like the Vikings or Cubs, since they’re also favorites of mine along with the Ducks. But none of the other pictures had the same impact these two did. They’re different shots, but yep, same team jersey.

      But honestly, it was the message and that worship moment that left the deepest mark.

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts and words, Brother.

      God Bless You, today and always.

      Thank you so much, Dear Jean, for your kind and encouraging words. Your support means more than you know. I’m truly touched by your message and so glad the song and video spoke to you. To God be the Glory and Praise.

      A heartfelt Thank you for watching and for your Prayers, both are deeply appreciated.

      My YouTube channel is actually on my main page along with all my other links, but you’re absolutely right… it would be a great idea to incorporate the link directly into my blog posts. I’ll start doing that going forward…

      Much Love and Blessings to you as well. You’re always in my prayers too. 😊

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
