Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen
I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
[Chorus]
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man
but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
[chorus]
So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl[chorus]
The word of this song really hit me hard today. I was having a ehhh.. rough afternoon, not in a good mood, and just not feeling like I was good enough or worth enough, when suddenly this song came on KLOVE..... I started listening to the lyrics and thinking about them. It seems like lately I am focused on what I can make myself look like. I'm working out, eating healthy, trying to lose weight and feel better about myself. I'm trying to grow my hair longer and looking at new makeup and all these things to improve myself, so that maybe I'll be good enough.. This song made me stop and think that I allready am good enough in God's eyes. Could it really be true? Could he love me warts and all? When I continuously make the same mistakes over and over again after he has so lovingly tried to show me the right way, to trust in him and quit trying to run my life without even asking his direction. Could it be true? Could I be good enough allready? Not even just good enough, but perfect in his eyes?
That question was answered by the next song that came on KLOVE. David Crowder's "Oh how he loves"
I particularly like this verse
Verse 2:
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…
he loves us.
The chorus is very simple and just says Oh how he loves us. And really is there anything more that needs to be said? I made myself sit there and think about that little phrase and try to grasp some little iota of what it meant, Jesus LOVES us. Jesus loves ME!
If that doesn't rock your world completely, well, as Pastor Whips says, you must not be breathing.
How he loves us.
How he loves.
