Who I Am

When I look in the mirror, who do I see,
Standing there staring back at me?

Is it someone I know who soars like a dove,
Or someone I feel not even God could love?

"What can I change?" I cry to myself,
To make me love ME... take ME off the shelf.

The answer comes simply and so amazingly true,
It's turning my life over completely to You.

Lord help me to love myself as I am,
The person for whom was given The Lamb.

Help me to grow, please loosen the chains,
Let me forget past sorrows and pains.

Teach me to accept the person You made,
Give guidance to know what will last and not fade.
(Belva Peden 1991)
