lyrics

Don’t you dare compare yourself with someone else
Get off the shelf and write your own story
If there’s no risk there’s no glory
Don’t be afraid you’ll fall on your face.
You don’t break as easy as you think
You’ve got such resilience
Such a brilliance about you

You’re beautiful the way you are
Though those scars try to lie
And tell you that it’s not true
But you’ve got such a light you bring to the room

So fearfully assembled by the One that you resemble,
You’re a masterpiece
And when your body came together from the womb of forever
All the angels rejoiced in what the Father conceived
Cause you’re just what He was dreaming
And no matter how it’s seeming
He knows your name
And He can see through all your doubt
All your fears, your little bouts
That make you think that things will never change

So don’t you dare compare yourself to someone else
Get off the shelf and get in the story
You were made for His glory
Don’t be afraid to be who you are
It’s not to far or lofty of a goal
You’ve got such resilience
Such a brilliance about you

You’re beautiful the way you are
