When the world says

when the world says…

when the world says I am worthless, 
You say I am worth it.

when the world says I am broken,
Your love makes me whole again.

When the world calls me weird
You call me Yours.

when the world says the sea is too deep,
You hold the waters back for me.

when the world says the flames will consume me
You are in the fire by my side.

when the world has me held captive in my sin,
Your cross says I am no longer a slave to sin.

when the world says,
Jesus says I have overcome the world!
