You Call Me Lovely...

You call me lovely.

You call me beautiful.

You are not swayed.
You are not moved by my lack of faith or unbelief in You.

You are not swayed.

You are not moved when I try to hide or when I run from You.

You call me lovely.

You call me beautiful.

You stay.

You stay.

You stay, You stay the same.

No matter what my circumstances try to tell me.

No matter what the voices try to convince me.

If You notice the sparrow,

How can You miss my face?

If You notice the sparrow,

How can you miss my presence?

For You made my frame.

You gave me my name.

And you saved me from the death I was layin' in.

You breathed Your life in me.

You spoke Your light in me and You called me beautiful.

You call me lovely.

You call me beautiful.

For this is who I am.

This is one of the songs I have been working on for two years now. Although, I don't feel it is quite complete for it could go on forever, it is almost done. I have been thinking about our fears and how they drive us to do the craziest things. When in fear, we make unwise choices and abort the very things that God wants to bring into our lives. I have been known to do it time and time again.

However, the Lord sat me down this very night and whispered in my ear, "I have never left. I have never strayed. My love lasts through eternity and all of the ages. It has never let you down or disappointed you. Your trust lies in Me. For I am your hope. You are safe and always have been." His words led me to write these very words above.

He calls us beautiful. He calls us lovely. We rest in what He says we are, not what the voices of the world or condemnation try to tell us we are. Our identity rests in Him and it always has. This is where we truly find life and freedom to just be. Thank you Jesus. I am grateful that You remain and that You are faithful.
