How much do I weigh to day
how do you think I look?
Should it really matter?
Let's consult another book
Self-esteem, personal pride
it's time to put yourself first
You deserve a break today,
no wait, you'll only look worse
Eat more ~ eat less ~ I'll never get this right
Hit the gym
~weigh in
~~man my jeans are tight
Think about it, plan ahead
never let it go
Wear a baggy sweater,
maybe it won't show
You can do this ~ you can fix it
make this weight loss snappy
then finally you'll be so slim
just maybe you'll be happy
Really?! Truly?! do I believe this?
Absolutely NO!
Peace and joy and a walk so strong
I've got to let this go!
My body is His temple
to glorify His name
my fears and insecurities
are only to His shame
A steward of this holy place
is what I am to be
In my choices honor Him
and I will be set free!
Nourish my soul in His word
morning noon and night
then caring for my body
will no longer be a fight
Thank you Father for the truth and strength
found only in Your word
A faithful servant I will be
Your message I have heard
Each day, each hour and every thought
I give my life to You
Destroy this idol that lives in me
restore my heart and make me new
The accuser had me for a moment
broken bruised and shattered
You slayed this dragon in my life so I could
remember all that mattered
I am Yours, loved and saved
and here for just a season
To tell the world of Your gift of love
You gave for Your own reason
Idols gone and strength restored
Your mercies know no end
With all my heart I thank You God ~
my Savior and my Friend
