You make me feel beautiful

You make me feel strong

You say that I’m right

When I know that I’m wrong

You make me feel happy

When I tell you I’m mad

And you make me smile

When I tell you I’m sad

You make me feel beautiful

When I know that I’m not

I hope you keep loving me

I don’t want you to stop

Now that I’m falling

I don’t know what to do

I’m falling so deep

‘Cause I’m falling for you



You make me feel beautiful

As I said once before

I know that you love me

I just love you a little more

At first I didn’t see

It was hard to believe

And then I woke up one day

And You showed me the way

I was headed down a path

That wasn’t gonna last

But then You detoured me

To the life I now have

People tell me You’re not real

But the feeling that I feel

The way my life has changed

There is no other way

Every time I think of You

I think of all You do

I used to play the fool

And now I’m here with You

No matter what they say

No matter what they think

You’re everything to me

I tell You everyday

I know now

What I need to do

First thing on my list

Get rid of you

You’ve had me too long

And I’ve allowed it

I can’t hold it in

I have to shout it

I’M FREE

Free to be me

Not who you choose

But who I’m meant to be

For Him, He

The great and mighty

Who died on the cross

And rose just for me

Who gave me His love

When I didn’t deserve it

Who gave more chances

When I didn’t even earn it

And now that I have it

Now that I can see

It’s clear who I was

And who I’m about to be

I’M FREE

I had to shout it again

I’m a slave when I’m with you

But I’m free in His hands

I’m free

And all I had to do

Remove one thing off my list

And I got rid of you

I walked into a church one day

But then I walked right out

A lot of folks were praising God

The screams, the tears, the shout

Someone said to go back again

I said I would but then

When that person walked away

On my face formed a grin

I knew I wasn’t going back

That church was a bit much

It was too loud, also the crowd

Couldn’t move well enough

I saw another church that day

Actually I walked by seven

It doesn’t matter any way

I’m not going to heaven

I seen a smaller church that night

I didn’t hear no one shout

I walked inside to see that night

I was sure I would walk out

The pastor said to have a seat

That’s exactly what I did

He told me to pray to myself

But I don’t know what that is

He must’ve seen my confusion

Because he took a seat

He closed his eyes & took my hand

And then he prayed for me

I walked out of church that night

I felt like nothing changed

He wasted his prayers on me

Because everything’s the same

I was angry and depressed one day

So I walked to clear my mind

I didn’t even walk that way

But I seen that church a 2nd time

I walked into the church that day

And no one else was there

I sat and talked with God that day

I felt like He was near

My whole life began that day

That church became my church

The pastor taught me how to pray

And joy formed from my hurt

I walked into my church one day

And started praising Christ

For everything He’s done for me

And helped me to live right

I walked into my church one day

That feels so good to say

I walked into my church one day

I’m glad I walked this way
