Beauty

--Just wanted to let you know that I got a haircut today. Wow, it is a lot shorter than I wanted it, but what can you do now? I straightened it to try and make it a little longer, but our straightener is old and is pretty much useless. I also got my eyebrows done. Ouch, I cannot remember the last time it hurt so bad! I didn't wince or anything, but the last two peices hurt soooo bad. Beauty is painful, ya know? Of course, real beauty comes on the inside. I remember at Camp Patmos (a long time ago, mind you) me and my friend were going around asking everyone who was prettier. Mrs. Kozy opened up her Bible and showed us that we were both beautiful, and not only on the outside, but on the inside. I look back and realize that that was one of the silliest things I have ever done. I am beautiful, because I have Jesus.

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]

***

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
