Just Being Me

Woe is my soul For it doth have a whole Where nurture and love should have filled its stead Is now anguish, hurt, bitterness, and dread To be loved with no restrictions, unfurbished, and pure Held in the embrace of the one who loves me, so safe and secure A place of serenity, peace, and sweet rest Where i can bask in the arms of the one who loves me best A greater love can no where be found And in him does sincerity and affection abound I know that Jesus loves me and that he is all i need That he died for my sins and my heart he has freed But for once on this earth i wonder what it would be To have someone love me for just being me!
