I wasn\u2019t pretty enough. I wasn\u2019t thin enough. <em>I <\/em>wasn\u2019t enough. The worst part was that I believed every lie spoken to me. The evil one kept me in bondage with my self-image issues. I believed his lies over the truths found in God\u2019s amazing grace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a tough road to get over these feelings of insecurity, but I\u2019ve managed to break free of this bondage and find I am exactly as God created me to be. I am who I am and what I am through Jesus Christ. That\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And oh how I love to sing about God\u2019s amazing grace. I stand before God free of blemish and flaw because of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) assures us that we can <em>\u201capproach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\u201d <\/em>Confidence that I am flawless with God\u2019s amazing grace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So take a look at these lyrics and definitely click on the link to listen to MercyMe\u2019s version of this song.
