Have you heard one of the newest CCM hits by Megan Woods called “The Truth”? Oh my gracious, the lyrics are rich with music that grabs your ears and a voice that captures your attention. She reminds me a bit of Adele! :).
The lyrics of the whole song are worth meditating upon. For the sake of the blog I will bring your attention to one section that resonated with me; and now perhaps you…
The truth is I am my Father’s child
I make Him proud and I make Him smile
I was made in the image of a perfect King
He looks at me and wouldn’t change a thing
The truth is I am truly loved
By a God who’s good when I’m not good enough
I don’t belong to the lies, I belong to You
And that’s the truth
Whether you are 13, 35 or 52 like me, I suspect you have had seasons where you have struggled with your identity or something about yourself. Perhaps it’s weight, height, lack of a skill, physique, hair, your sexuality, a birth “defect”, sound of your voice, or anything similar. While all those things may certainly be used as a way to describe ourselves; we often need to be reminded that those things do not define us nor determine our value.
The lyrics of this song grabbed my attention when I first heard it. I have played it several times now on Spotify. Even today it played on KLove while on my drive to work and then again my drive home. They lyrics speak to my heart and remind me of the truth of whom designed and defined me; “a perfect King”!
I don’t believe I need to say anything more. Let the words of the song speak Truth to your heart. ~Stan
