the way i feel

i was so unique
now i feel skin deep
count on the make up
to cover it all
crying myself to sleep
'cause i cannot keep their attention
thought i could be strong
but it's killing me
does someone hear my cry
'cause i'm dying for new life

i wanna be beautiful
make You stand in awe
look inside my heart
and be amazed
i want to hear You say
who i am is quite enough
just wanna be worthy of love
and beautiful

sometimes i wish i was someone other than me
fighting to make the mirror happy
trying to find whatever is missing
won't You help me back to glory

i wanna be beautiful
make You stand in awe
look inside my heart
and be amazed
i want to hear You say
who i am is quite enough
just wanna be worthy of love
and beautiful

You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart
and i am amazed
i love to hear You say
who i am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love
and beautiful



so, i was just thinking of this song the other day, and i opened up my copy of the book captivating, and this is near the beginning of the book. it made me think again, and i thought i should just put the song up here. it's amazing how God can fill every desire of my heart because of who He is. when i want to feel beautiful, i can look to Him and see myself the way that He sees me, and i am amazed. He thinks i am beautiful, even right after i wake up in the morning when i'm not wearing any make-up and when my hair is sticking out everywhere. it's very hard to fathom.
