I give total credit for this post to Robin at her wonderful PENSIEVE blog. Just the other day as I was reading her words, I came across this song by MercyMe that she posted. If you read my recent post, you know that our oldest entering the tween and teen years, is heavy on our hearts. We just want so much to be prepared, equipped for those days ahead.
More than anything, we want our daughter to know, with confidence:
Who she is
and
Whose she is.
Just as Robin said, isn't this a wonderful and powerful song for every young girl to hear? Oh, if our Rebecca will just remember and believe these words...
Days will come when you don't have the strength
And all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart
They'd see too much
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful
Praying that you have the heart to fight
Cuz you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful
Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die!
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
In His eyes
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured
You are sacred
You are His
Would you help me?? What are some other great songs that have important truth for our kids to hear? Would you help me compile a list of meaningful songs for teens/tweens? Thanks!!!
