This song has been an inspiration to me many times, I like to think of it as my "motto" in life. Too many times I have failed to recognize true beauty in myself. With all the crazy distractions and lies of this world it is far too easy to forget our purpose here and what makes us unique. We are all children of God and can be truly beautified by His light.
"So much noise, so much peace destroyed,
I can hardly hear the voice, leading me through the void,
So much noise.
The world's little lies,
Destruction in disguise, opportunities to compromise,
To make me beautiful in their eyes,
But I'm not gonna buy the world's little lies.
I define myself and find my beauty in the light He gives.
I'm refined by His divine intentions every day I live.
It doesn't matter what the world believes,
Or what they say that beauty means,
It comes from within,
I want to be beautiful to Him.
He's given me His trust, so I'll be strong enough,
To run from a dangerous touch, I don't need that kind of love,
I don't need that crutch, He's given me his trust.
I know how to shine, my life's not really mine.
It's not about a worldly climb, it's all about His design.
So in His eyes, I want to shine.
I define myself and find my beauty in the light He gives.
I'm refined by His divine intentions every day I live.
It doesn't matter what the world believes,
Or what they say that beauty means,
It comes from within,
I want to be beautiful to Him.
I want to live to have His peace,
And feel the holiness He seeks.
It comes from within.
I want to be beautiful... to Him."
