Free To Be Me!!

*This is how I've been feeling lately!! I don't do well with change~ even though I am super excited about this school year!! I just get really freaked and then I get all loose cannon-ish! Once school actually starts I am sure I will snap out of it!! Maybe you can relate!! :) Enjoy this encouragement, I know I did!!



At thirty-three years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
You've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see

Cause I got a couple dents in my Fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own, I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life would turn out right
And I 'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it's easy to believe even though

I got a couple dents in my Fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
and on my own, I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me and you're free to be you
