worth
i was looking for my worth
so i looked all around me to find it
i looked at myself and find nothing
i looked behind me, the dark past of failures and pain
i looked at myself to find an empty heart from the past, i gained
i looked forward, a blurry and foggy future awaits
i looked at myself to find myself standing on a quicksand, im stucked and sinking in the present
i looked beside me, people are there but distant from me
i looked at myself to find hands that are nasty, *****, that's why no one would hold me.
so i looked down
bend my knees on the ground
i looked up the sky
hold my breath and cry
as i see you there
with arms reaching out
with eyes without a tinge of doubt.
You gave me a new heart
and filled it with your love.
You made my hands clean
and grabbed it tight as if saying "im here".
You pulled my feet that were stucked
and help me move forward to the future you've planned.
You welcomed me in you arms
gave me a warm embrace
wiped my tears til it left no trace
then you whispered in my ear
and loving said
"My daughter,
you are and
will always be loved
You have been
and will always be
precious in my sight"
I am empty. I am a failure. I can achieve nothing. I am unloved. I am worthless.
But not anymore
For I am loved, saved by his grace. I am given a hope and a future.
I am precious before God.
And so are you.
"You are precious in my eyes," God says, "and I love you" (Isaiah 43:4a).
