The Real Me

My fellow blogger made mention to me and about a song that I am preparing to sing at our church. It is my current life song and means soooo much to me. I think many people feel this way. I am so thankful that I serve a God that can love the real me even with all of my faults and mistakes.
Satan comes to us and tells us we don't deserve to have a happy life and how could anyone accept us because we XXXX. (Whatever our vice or weakness is). The truth is we don't deserve it. It is only through the grace and mercy of our Saviour that we can have this.

I am including the lyrics below.

Dean, Thanks for the inspiration to write this post.


The Real Me

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache,
will this glass house break?
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a Charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life
intoA perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am

Wonderful, Beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
