Revelations on a Tram

I was sitting on a tram today, listening to my ipod and when this song came on, it moved me to tears because it really hits home with a lot of things that I have been struggling with over the past few weeks. It made me really look at myself and decisions I have made and what the intentions behind them were. Were my motives to cover myself in "make-up" to please others, or to please God and rest in His glory? Please pray for me as I am trying to sort out a lot decisions and directions in my life over the next few weeks. That I would trust in the wisdom of the LORD.

"Beautiful" by Bethany Dillon

I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me

Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life

I want to 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 want to 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

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
