Cleansing

Cleaning my yesterday's wounds like many unwanted memories, I try to clean myself from the dirt that's left Removing all the stains I've kept Straying from my inner self of deceit not beautiful enough it seems awakening from nightmare of the deception of rejection My beauty comes from within you don't know me you don't see what I see My closeness to God helps me to carry on Praising his name, and singing his song. Freedom at last Trying not to move too fast Wait, I say, Wait on the Lord For he will renew your strength You see me on the outside My beauty is within Education, misconception Degrees thinking we're at ease teaching from experience Not putting God in a box The box was never there You've created a mind set of outer appearance to validate me How blind can we be How prideful have we become so much love we have kept in a lump sum The beauty of eternal life God who sees our hearts Our inner need to be what he has called us to be
