Beautiful

Last night my friend, Audie Van Dyke, and I went to a 'Shane and Shane' concert at my church. It was such a worshipful concert. Shane Everett and Shane Barnard make up the two Shanes in the group. I didn't really know a lot of their songs before last night, but I am so glad that I was introduced to lyrics of their music. I encourage you to go to their website, www.shaneandshane.com, and listen to some of their songs. Another singer, Bethany Dillon, who is Shane Barnard's new wife, was also there. I will have to say that one of her songs, 'Beautiful', was my favorite of the night. It is a song that every girl and woman needs to hear. Even if you don't ever get to hear it, just reading the lyrics is very touching. I am going to post the lyrics...take a minute and let the words really soak in. God makes us all beautiful from the inside out... Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."


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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
