The Beauty from Within


Chocolate-covered sadness, hiding hurt with smiles

Hair short and nappy, too tangled to be styled

Looking to others to validate, living life in sin

Too naïve to realize the beauty from within

My best friend was loneliness. We walked side-by-side

Then I met up with depression and she quickly stole my pride

Low self-esteem shook my hand and became my new-found friend

Because I did not realize I had beauty from within

I woke up early Sunday morning, and then I opened up The Book

It told me to focus on a Savior who didn’t care about how I looked

It told me to open up my heart, and let His Spirit in

A new feeling came over me. I had beauty from within

Today I walk with confidence in elegant, graceful strides

I cast out depression and I took back all my pride

Now I have a Savior who washed away all my sins

And each day I wake up knowing I have beauty from within
