Beautiful is not a word this world would use to describe me,
But you see God sent His only Begotten Son to die on a tree.

Because He found me worthy of His love not by sight,
But because He knew my heart was true and bright.

People can be so cruel with words their mouths do spout,
Making us feel so ugly, unloved, and lonely inside and out.

Do not let what worldly human beings do or say,
Lead your path, for they will only keep you astray.

Building themselves up at your expense,
Straddling they are a very dangerous fence.

For God says it’s better to be cold or hot,
Lukewarm in Heaven He will know you not.

Look not in the mirror but pray in your heart,
That others see Jesus in you not just the outer part.

He was not alone that day at Calvary you see,
I was with Him when He shed His blood for me.

Forgiven of all my sins before I was ever born,
Worthy of His love with each piercing thorn.

Sticks and stones may break my bones into,
But unkind words will help me turn away from you.

We can all be a Blessing to others with Godly love,
It is His desire to someday see us together above.

So before anger, jealousy, and hate you speak,
Get on your knees and let it be Jesus you seek.

Know the damage a cruel word can create,
May just be your inescapable adverse fate.

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do,
Is my daily prayer for this broken world and you!
