“When the Heart Sees”

the battle’s been won
the victory’s mine

realizing
the past died on the cross
being abused died on the cross
addiction died on the cross
realizing
my reflection is brand new
my heart’s been made perfect by Him
my beauty’s released through my heart
realizing
the dance isn’t dirty
the family resemblance is of Jesus
every promise is True

the battle’s been won
the victory’s mine
the new me lives
with a reflection of beauty

“What the Mind Sees”

so
I just saw a video of me flagging
and don’t see what you see

[sigh]

I saw
fat arms
flat hair
myself

and didn’t see much beauty

[sigh]

still growing
still believing

wanting to see what you see
all the time
