I Am Free
The pain of their eyes staring...
Burns in my skin
And flesh boils
I just want to be...
Amazing
But, call me what you want
I'm sure it's true
I don't see how it came about
Tends to be all you see;
Ugliness
The mirror,
Screams, "Useless!"
But, why?
I don't have anything to offer to this world...
No talent
No power
No joy
...No beauty
Just wanna stand above it all, but my arms are just too weak
C'mon... bring me out...
It's what I cry out for;
But, it was a broken cry that no man heard
Except for You...
You saw the pain in my shame
Shame of what?
Shame of unworthiness...
Till they are proven wrong, but your glory
And my cuts are healed
The blood is cleaned.
The wounds are stitched.
Without you, I am nothing
Literally
Part of the dust, you formed me
From the beginning of the beginning, you loved me...
Took nails through the slashed flesh
And took the harshness of my sin upon your shoulders
And my shame across your heart
The whips... broke into your home...
Your body...
Invaded
And all for me?
Followers turn their faces...
Abandon by His own stronghold
His attachment to Heaven, forgotten
So that my attachment to Heaven is concealed
With His blood and tears
Now, I am beautiful
'Cause You created me...
Me?
Made me the individual I am
Created each flaw...
Each feature...
With the most intense precision
So I could go own
With a shameless heart
Everything you have created;
Incredible
My smile
... full again.
Now I am free
Free of the chains that held me to the ground
I can fly
Because you
I am beautiful
And the mirror recognizes the real me,
Instead of my tears
Streaming endlessly down my cheeks
To the endless smile
Forever rejoicing,
Cuz' I know You're with me
When all else fades away....
I am Free
Because You cut my chains
I can dance
I can run
Run to You
I am
Free
