Beautiful for Me


Every girl young and old has to face her own reflection
Twirl around, stare it down
What's the mirror gonna say

With some luck, you'll measure up
But you might not hold a candle to the rest
"Is that your best?" says the mirror to the mess

But there's a whisper in the noise
Can you hear a little voice
and He says

Has anybody told you you're beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see

Oh
'Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you
beautiful for me

If it's true beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
What my life and what's inside to give him something to behold
I want a heart that's captivating
I wanna hear my Father say

Has anybody told you you're beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see

Oh
'Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you
beautiful to me

Close your eyes
Look inside
Let me see the you that you've been trying to hide
Long ago, I made you so very beautiful
So I ought to know you're beautiful

Has anybody told you you're beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Yeah
'Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful
You're so beautiful
Beautiful for me

So beautiful for me
Has anybody told you?

This song by Nichole Nordeman, I can't listen to it with out tearing up. I hear it and I think of my baby girl. She comes to my mind first. And I want so badly for her to grow up knowing how beautiful she is to her King. That He takes delight in her and He even sings over her.

In this world, where our daughters will be urged to grow up too fast, encouraged to be sexy at such a young age and to live up to a standard no woman can or should have to live up to, I want my daughter to know who made her.

And that He made her beautiful.

The LORD your God is with you,
He is mighty to save,
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
