and you and them!
We did nothing
to deserve it.
Sin marred our skin
and made us unattractive,
but God looked through
the blemishes and took
away every mark against us,
so we could be happy
enough with ourselves
to believe in His love.
What a joy! What a wonder!
What a relief to be loved
for our truest selves,
thanks be to God!
