A teenage alcoholic Stumbling up the stairs You believe that no one understands That nobody cares. You have friends that cut themselves And friends that take hard drugs It's been years since you recall Ever getting hugs
You believe that you will never change You may even love your sin But though it may be ugly You're Beautiful to Him
You're middle aged and overweight You've lost your husband/wife You're weary of the daily grind May even hate your life You look in the mirror Apply your makeup/shave You see the crow's feet and gray hair You're ready for the grave
You believe that fate has cursed you That you will never win But no matter appearances You're beautiful to Him
The "Elephant Man", John Merrick Was found in a cage In a horrendous "freak" show They said he was estranged From basic humanity Because of face and form But Dr Frederick Reeves Proved all of them wrong He didn't look upon the face Which was deformed in whole He looked into his pleading eyes And saw a lovely SOUL.
Though Joseph "John" Merrick Was ugly by our ken He was blessed of our great God
And BEAUTIFUL TO HIM!
BRIDGE:
No matter what society Will say or do or think No matter if you hate yourself And your on the brink No matter what No matter how You can yet begin You're precious to the Living God
