In His Image (experimental version)

Verse 1 I look in the mirror, don’t like what I see A petite little woman staring back at me Kinky hair, sun-kissed skin, I call them flaws Counting every reason I fall short of the laws I tell myself I’m not enough Carryin’ words that feel too rough Pre-Chorus Then I hear the whisper, gentle and kind “Child, I made you one of a kind” Chorus He said, “I created you in My own image Fearfully, wonderfully made by design Not by the world and its opinions But by My hands, by love divine” So I lay down every doubt I knew I am beautiful because He says it’s true Verse 2 I used to believe I was less somehow Not smart enough, not strong enough now Thinking rich is better, fair is fine Straight hair prettier than mine But God don’t choose favorites, no He loves us equal, high and low Pre-Chorus Male and female, every color and face Different stories, same saving grace Chorus He said, “I created you in My own image Every detail has a reason and place Dark or light, broken or standing You carry My glory, you carry My grace” I don’t see myself smaller anymore I’m standing taller than before Bridge (Testimony Style) Who am I to judge this face, this skin, this soul? When God Himself declared me whole Every curve, every strand of hair Was shaped with purpose, wrapped in care Nothing’s wasted, nothing’s wrong I was loved all along Final Chorus So instead of complaining, I choose praise Thankful for this body, thankful for my days I’ll embrace who I am, proud and free Because God saw beauty when He created me In His image, I rise and say Thank You, Lord, for making me this way Outro I am His creation, I belong And that truth makes me strong
