Here, where I find myself going after all He is
People who once brought joy
Now look at me differently

What do I really mean to you?

And do you really understand?

Here, where I find myself clouded with voices I’m not even acquainted with,
Do I ask once more:
Is this the price to pay just to get you closer to His image?
You gave your life to Him
And now, it’s time to let Him be in charge

Know the truth that you are loved in spite of
That no amount of perfection can lessen His love for you
That you are valuable in spite of
And maybe true beauty is felt from within

Know that it does not matter
And it will not matter in the end–
When we live to hate
–That life is not found in beauty or wealth or status or anything else

Life is found in Christ Jesus

I am the richest when I’m with Him

Lessen the hate
Then maybe you’ll see
That the love you’ve been longing for
Has always been free
