about

Growing up, I understood clearly that Jesus loved me. It took me a long time to internalize that He liked me - that loving me was enjoyable to Him and not just an obligation. This song came from that journey.

lyrics

Why do I see every line,
Every mark, every scar
Looking back from the looking glass
Staring at me disapprovingly
A twisted mess, a tangled web
The imperfections of my reflection
When lies whisper unwanted, rejected

You say delightful, lovely
You say beautiful, beloved
You say delightful

Why can’t I be who I am
I criticize with my own eyes
I put myself in a critical condition
Pieces of me lie in wait
My broken heart in jagged shards
You take me and make me
A treasured mosaic
When lies whisper hopeless, dejected

I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief, Lord
When You say delightful
