Secondary Beauty - Peter 3:3-4

[Soft-Intro] ‘Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, In wearing of gold, jewelry or fine clothes, Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, [Verse 1] Golden jewelry shines just fine, Success can grow, and that’s divine, But when the gold begins to guide, It slips from gift to source of pride, Adorned and worshiped, it can blind— True beauty’s found in heart and mind, [Verse 2] Gold in excess can feel like mockery, Mired with policies that blind the eyes— To the poor, and the brokenhearted, To those the world forgets, offended [Chorus] Golden halls and marble floors, While the hungry wait outside the doors, But Jesus rode a donkey low, And washed the feet, not stole the show, He wore no crown of gold that day— Just thorns and love that led the way, [Bridge] Let gold test my faith, not decorate my pride, I'll wait for the streets of gold — and walk alongside, I’ll trade glitter for grace, Outward things fade—but His love I can never replace, [Soft Outro] Build your inner character, A gentle, quiet spirit That’s what’s beautiful— God sees the heart, not the glitter . . .
