fearfully and wonderfully


don't tell me things about myself

that i know are lies

 

don't say that i am not good enough

when i know the truth

 

don't say that i am ugly

when i can see clearly

 

don't say that i am worthless

when i hear differently

 

don't tell me things about myself

that i know are lies

 

for i am eternally being

renewed for a higher purpose

 

for i am fearfully and wonderfully

made in God's image

 

for i am alive and breathing

with a purpose living inside of me
