The Songs in My Head--Truth About Me

Throughout my life, I've always loved the days when I woke up with a song running through my head. It happens to me quite often. I thought it might be fun to make a note of when it happens and what songs they are....today it is this one.

The words going through my head were..."You say lovely, I say broken. I say guilty, you say forgiven." I love songs. They are about the only kind of poetry that I really understand, some of the time. This song is called Truth About Me, and it's by Mandisa. I got to see her perform this live a couple of years ago in St. Louis at a Joyce Meyer Women's Conference. I really had no idea who she was, even though she was kind of well known because of American Idol (which I really don't ever watch, even though it's the kind of show that I like to watch). I like this song for lots of reasons. I like the piano part, and I like it's simplicity. It's also a good song to sing along to. I also like this song because it reminds us of our infinite worth.


Here are the whole lyrics (from here):
"Truth About Me"

If only I could see me as you see me
And understand the way that I am loved
Would it give a whole new meaning to my purpose
Change the way I see the world

Would I sparkle like a star in the night sky
Would I give a little more instead of take
If I understood I'm precious like the diamond
I'm a worth noone could estimate
I'm a worth noone could estimate

You say lovely
I say broken
I say guilty
You say forgiven
I feel lonely
Say you're with me
We both know it would change everything
If only I believed the truth about me

I wish I could hold on to the moments
When my life is spinnin but I'm peaceful still
Like a wind you whispered in the silence
And tell me things this world never will
You tell me things this world never will

You say lovely
I say broken
I say guilty
You say forgiven
I feel lonely
Say you're with me
We both know it would change everything
If only I believed the truth about me

I would sleep better at night
Wake up with hope for another day
I would love even if it cost me
Take a chance and know I'm goin be ok
I would dare to give my life away..

Oh,I feel lonely
Say you're with me
We both know it would change everything
If only I believed the truth about me
If only I believed the truth about me
