Nearly everyone I've ever known, including those in the church has treated me like a good for nothing useless worthless barrel of garbage. All I've ever heard from them is "Go away, you're bothering us. Get outta here!" They didn't say that in words, but it certainly was conveyed by their demeaning, humiliating, mean-spirited actions. A lifelong battle with rejection beginning with my father leaving me at birth, to kids verbally abusing me, beating me up in school...then getting the same abusive treatment in church. Then my mom abandoning me and disowning me. Finally I met a different kind of person: someone who helped me see that I am not a liability or a hunk of trash. I realized through her that the three most important things anybody needs is acceptance, trust and love - all of what I never got growing up. I am most grateful to her, and for reaching out to me with unbridled fearless radical love, and for having the Fathers heart for me. A TRUE Christian and a TRUE friend! So this song speaks volumes to me. It reminds me of her.



♫ Beautiful ~♥~ by Mercy Me ♫

LYRICS:

Days will come when you don't have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart, they'd see too much

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his
You're beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight
"Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
They are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his
You're beautiful.

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves enough to die

You're beautiful
You're beautiful in His eyes

You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his
You're beautiful

You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his
