More than OKAY

Why when i know what i know do i live this way

i know and believe that Jesus saves

and through undeserved sacrifice has extended grace

so why do i still walk away?

terrified that the dark might illuminate

what society rejects so i walk in shade.

He's too much of a gentleman to force me to stay

so instead He watches from the empty grave

which cost Him a lot of disgrace and pain

But through Power and Plan was Triumphantly raised,

from here He watches me walk in that shame

that i put on myself: no one else to blame

as i pretend for them, out of fear that they'll say

the labels and lies that I've put on my name:

worthless, insecure, ugly, insane

for some begotten reason i fail to claim

the truth of my worth which Jesus made plain:

"There's no good in throwing your Joy away

to try live behind false perfection's frame.

THEY'RE LIES, who gives them the right to place

in your thoughts... My Child don't let what they say

rob you of the gift I brought on the third day:

freedom and hope, please hear what I say,

these things are yours in my Father's Name

and you'd remember your worth if you remembered to pray

and thanked God for the breeze and the sky and the day.

Lift Your eyes to me, stop running away,

stop carrying their lies. I've made a way.

And I know that its hard; a narrow path to stay,

temptation looks good... its easy to stray

but I've said it before and I'll say it again:

lift Your eyes to me, your gonna be okay.

I haven't come to condemn, I haven't come to play games,

I haven't come to make rules, I've come to save

You from this world and the tricks they play

on Your mind by hiding the light of day

blinding you from the truth that you're more than okay,

You're beautifully, wonderfully and fearfully made."
