There was a time
when I knew my true worth
and nothing could change that
nothing on earth
until came the day
that I tumbled down
and somebody took
my beautiful crown.
I once was a princess
with so much power
I’d enter a room
and others would cower
my confidence great
an unyielding force
I commanded myself
never falling off course
I knew I was worthy
of the looks I would get
and my value reflected
everyone that I met
I’d see in their face
that they were impressed
it was fuel to my day
each one was a test.
And then came the day
away went the crown
and confident me
just had to sit down
cause two little children
came into my life
my everything changed.
woman became wife.
The princess, erased,
a new person came in
Cinderella, serving,
my light grew so dim
All of my focus
on family
nothing was left
for Cinderella, me
Each day became
scrubbing, cleaning
pajamas all day
mind left a’reeling
spinning around
like a silly ol’ top
’till the day I looked
and I had to stop
the reflection I saw
was sad and so dim
I forgot me
my face, now, so grim
my shoulders slumped down
so worn and so lost
who was I now?
someone who tossed
out value, out truth
threw away who I was?
all to achieve
and scramble because
I didn’t know
that princess could stay
I pushed her so far
made her go away?
I gave up on me
to give them my power
and what was left
was a sad little scour
of meager ol’ me
I only got scraps
all of the special
was put in their laps
too many years
of forgetting love
caring for me
God’s treasure above
He made me a princess
for a reason, and so,
I need to get back
to that personal glow
the one that lights up
a dark, lonely room
the one that abolished
sadness n’ gloom
I‘m glorious
I. am. strong.
I’m exactly, just me
Now focus on
sweet energy
and I’ll save the best
for me everyday
Yes, that will reflect
in beautiful ways
yet better, because
new Christian rays
spark deep down inside
from beyond my heart
fed by the Spirit
authentically start
a reflection of who,
I really am
not a pathetic crust
an absolute scam
I wasn’t made
to sit in a slump
I wasn’t made
a pathetic dump
I wasn’t made
to sit in the back
I wasn’t made
to linger and lack
I wasn’t made
to follow a sheep
I wasn’t made
to stupidly keep
the value and worth
of how I was made
I am much more
the price that was paid
There on the cross
The VOICE – Jesus cried
Go! and REJOICE
or I have just died
for no other reason
to sit and just wallow
and focus on sad
now get up! and swallow
down all the doubt
and pathetic ways
that sad life is gone
the princess now stays
I am HIS child
love ever more
and right from this moment
I settle the score
Life will be better
seeing me this way
actions speak better
than words any day
And, oh yeah, that crown
was really just me
sadly robbed
by insecurity
a mind so confused
by sweet intentions
but now resolved
by intervention
I am God’s child
designed with intent
every atom inside
eternity spent
time has no power
when you speak of creation
it transcends our minds
no verbal translation
could ever convey
the overwhelming power
when you take away
minutes, seconds, hours.
God is I. AM.
He is every-thing
the essence of life
He purposely brings
each of us here
are you WORTHY of love?
are you kidding me now?
Look now, up above
and say to the LORD
I’m sorry, I lacked
I’m sorry, I forgot
I’m sorry, I stacked
up all the trash
upon my own head
thank you so much
for the life I have led
I will remember the value
of what God has made
I am worthy of love
I am bought, I am paid
by His ONLY Son
so obedience will
be what my life is
every second I fill
by responding to Him
and His love for me
I AM His Princess
So, that’s what I will be.
