Let Me Be Lovely

Let me be lovely
And pleasing to You,
Let my beauty
Be pure and true,
Let my countenance
Be peaceful and at rest,
If I know I've sinned,
Let me confess.
Let me be lovely
In Your eyes,
Let me do more
Than just survive,
But praise You
And love You
And receive Your love.
Let Your acceptance of me
Fit me like a glove.
Let me not get caught up
In affairs of the past,
And think that cancelled sin
Can actually last,
Rather, teach me to believe in
How lovely I am
Because You hold me in Your hand.
Because You measure with a heart of love,
Because Your care for me is enough,
Because Your Grace redefines who I am,
Because You are Sovereign,
When I don't understand.
Am I lovely?
Yes, because You adore me so.
Am I special?
Yes, because You make me grow.
Am I worthy?
Yes, because of my worth in You.
So I accept Your love,
Because I know that it's true.
