I Love You Just the Way You Are

The mirror of the flesh can
sometimes be very cruel
the enemy uses this
so many he can fool.

Look at yourself in the
reflection of the living water
see yourself through the
eyes of our loving Father.

Man puts worth in how
we look
God tells us our real
worth through his book.

He plants us by the living waters
as trees of wisdom
with healing words from
our Father.

Words from man can leave our
hearts with a deep scar.
The enemy would like you
to think God is very far.

He's right there with arms
ready to hold.
Waiting for you to surrender
and give him your life to mold.

With every burden you allow
to enter your heart
you have given the enemy grounds for
destruction to start.

As we carry these problems
and try to find ways to fix them or use,
our precious Holy Father
we have, by lack of faith, abused.

Beneath each load of sorrow,
sad face, worry or pounds of weight,
we have not put our trust
in Jesus to determine our fate.

Our Holy Father stands
with outstretched arms that say 'come'
this battle for you
I have already won.
