Looking at Myself. For Real... (extra post)

Last week at Firefall (It was last week, wasn't it?), a friend approached me as I was leaving.  We talked for a second and then he asked if he could pray for me.  I said definitely, naturally.
I ended up fighting back tears at what he said, the words he was praying.  I went back to my room and ended up writing a song.  It's super introspective and (as you might see) very personal, but I don't think God would have us keep our song to ourselves.  It may just speak to someone else in this big old world.  So here it is:

I'm content
Just to sit
Here in my corner and weep
I don't ask much
Just a glimpse of love
And that I never catch a glimpse of me

'Cause when I'd look at myself
I never felt like enough
Couldn't see past my skin
Or the stains of my sin, but now
When I look in the mirror
And I see Your love
Covered me and within,
I feel beautiful
Again

Why do those
That catch my eye
Never catch me when
I'm fallin for them?
Can you try
To see why I
Find it so easy to believe
In beautiful lies

'Cause when I'd look at myself
I never felt like enough
Couldn't see past my skin
Or the stains of my sin, but now
When I look in the mirror
And I see Your love
Covered me and within,
I feel beautiful-

Don't waste Your time, my Love,
Picking me up
I'm pitiful, so pitiful
But when I look into Your eyes
I see no pity, just the sight
Of my reflection, and Your affection for
Me.
