Beautiful

After first hearing this song, Beautiful for Me by Nichole Nordeman; and nearly crying all the way through it, I just had to post the lyrics and share it.   It say’s so much about how we see ourselves.  And, as I was listening to this song, my computer music was on shuffle and the next song to play was Francesca Battistelli’s; Beautiful, Beautiful.  Maybe there’s a theme here?

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
(Chorus)
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

(Chorus)
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

(Chorus)
You’re so beautiful
Beautiful for me
So beautiful for me
