so, if I walk in a church buck naked.....don't even tell me ANY of ya all would see the real me...u would judge me and insist on covering me, and perhaps calling "help" for me....don't lie; you know you would and then I'd be the talk of the church. You would completely forget that God brought me AND you into this world as naked as I walked into where He invited me.
I rarely cry. I cried when I listened to this. I hate having an ED so much :( It really does just take over your life. It's like it's all you can think of :( When you look in the mirror you just want to break down and cry...
@nightwirexm Often you're right - we often seem to walk past people with faces both smiling and grim, each face a mask hiding an essence we are not privileged to see. And yet, sometimes, unbidden, someone stands before you, not only revealing what is behind the mask but touching you, your skin, your heart . . . perhaps for a moment, perhaps for a lifetime. Maybe one day it will happen to you; I hope so.
Beautiful song and video. I have learned that TRUE beauty comes from within. Being who and what you are, as God made you. We are daughters of the King of Kings; that makes us Princessess! We have to learn how to exude feminine grace, dress feminine and not be afraid to be women and learn how to be Prov 31 women. A woman of MORALITY, VIRTUE AND HONOR!
What an amazing song. I have a little girl and worry so about how this world tears at women. As her Daddy - I will protect her all I can, but a day will come when she will go into this world to blaze her path make her mark on it. I want her to know when I am not there, God always is and the amazing love I have for her I learned from him. Little girls need their daddys. I can not understand how fahters can turn their backs on their kids - boys or girls. Love my little girl - so proud of her
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is] thy Lord; and worship thou him. {Psalms 45:11 (KJV)}
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well. {Psalms 139:14 (KJV)}
Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in thee. {Song of Solomon 4:7 (KJV)}
Beautiful video and song! Praise Jesus for his mercy and grace!
This song, video. And the messages at the end... Really hit home with me. Tears streaming down my face. Because ive always struggled with self image..and critisism.And this just reminds me how special i am in someone very importants eyes. I know god sees no flaws in me now, and thats all that matters. Words cant decribe this feeling of relief.
Dear lord, I think ive been saved. You saved me, lord. You saved me..
im a recovered anorexic and this video helps remind me why i cant go back down that path... and that i truely am an amazeing perosn on the inside not just what i look like on the outside
But everyone has an unconscious mind that affects behavior and emotions that leads probably to an inevitable end and indeed this confirm that not everybody achieves 100% happiness in this world.
Knowing our self we understand the rest of the world.
I believe brainwash in any way causes unstable world.
this song is soo encouraging!!! there are times that i feel like my life is just falling apart ! im only 13 and ive been through a lot but wen i listen to this song it remindes me that GOD will always be there for me and he loves me just the way i am no matter how many faults i have.<3
WOW GREAT VIDEO!!!! Very well put together I got so pulled in by the way you blended your choice of grafixs with the song. It was fluid and moving. Loved it!
this was wonderul and helped me a lot. my boyfriend of two years brokeup with me sunday and i've been crying for days. i couldnt seem to figure out wether or not it was my fault and forgot about how i used to be. your video helped me see that i donnt need a boyfriend to be loved. i just need to be myself. thank you so very much
I suffer with anorexia and bulimia.. more bulimia but anyway. This is a video i can totally relate to. I've become very deprssed because of my eating disorder.. i should be in recover but i refuse :'( i just cant become fat again.. I got bullied for about 8 years on and off.. this is the result from being bullied..
i love this video i have an eating disorder"bulimia" and because of this i am severely depressed and this video truly brings me hope one day ill get better and someone will love me and help me get better and just be there and not leave me unlike everyone else in my life i guess u could say im a little broken inside and this video helps glue me back together its that beautiful so thank you
I love this video. I saw it last year at a church camp I went to. I loved it and watch it every now and then. It still gets to me. Beautiful. Thank you.
The song is powerful, but still kind of funny that most of the women used to make this video have these perfect images??? They just don't look like normal women?? They look perfect
whoops sorry sorry sorry haha i really didn't mean to give you a thumbs down :// anyway i think its funny you call yourself an it? or is that what that was? :P
...he just wants to give you a great big hug, and what ever you see yourself as, he sees you as perfect, beautiful and precious. id love it if people could pray for me and if anyone wants prayer, i'd love to pray for you. may Gods love be with you all xx
@cryingout4love You are so awesome, what an angel you are to send such a posistive message, and especially your christian faith. Not enough people share Christ with those who struggle. God be with you.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. i'v had a very painful time recently, that feels like its never going to end. i lost a baby sister, lost my best friend, was raped, and struggled with anorexia, depression and self-harm. im still trying to understand why God would want to love me and this video has helped in ways you cannot imagine. I'd just like to say to everyone who is hurting, there is hope, it will get better and there is a God who loves you in ways we humans just cant understand...
this song really touches my heart. this is me. i have been feeling this ache in my heart to sing in church and i havent been able to do it for years. i finally this year got up with my husband and it was great. but to get up by myself is what my desire is. GOD and I. i want to sing to him and worship him with the voice he gave me. my husband has heard me and says i am hiding a true gift that others could be touched with. please pray for me. i really need it. God bless and i love your music.wendy
OMG!! The first time I saw your video was at my church during a "Girl's Time" at camp!! We were talking about real beauty and when they played your video I think everyone was blown away! I love the message you are putting across and I really just wanted to thank you!!
hwen i first saw this it was acted out from people in my church and my dad just died like the month before and i was sad but i wouldn't let people see it. i was masking my pain and anger and it built up so much and i was working constantly to hide it from everyone even myself. but there was one person who saw it all along...Jesus saw it when no one else did. and i love him and i want to let the world know i love him and need him! i will never stop wanting him! Amen
OK guys! Thanks for your opinions. Honestly! I love being shown different ways of looking at things, because I can sometimes only see some part of what is the big picture. Shrimpette, you got the idea with where we were going. To be honest, we have many times touched on doing a video covering different issues, including one with weight problems in the other direction to annorexia. This was a massive conflict.. would people think we were making fun? Or that we weren't serious?
Neopets07, I'm sorry you find it painful to call yourself a Christain, it is a great and wonderful thing. You do need to be happy with yourself, every little detail, even parts about yourself that some people do not like, because it makes you unique, NO ONE else in the world is just like you. And when you said ....
.... And no one can or will ever truely understand why God loves us so much, but He does, we are His kids, and even through our pain and suffering, His plan is far greater than anything we can imagine.He is and will always be there for us, and for those who have accepted Him, there is a place for him/her in the Kingdom of Heaven. God loves us endlessly even if we can't love ourselves.
" But by saying things like "all girls are precious and beautiful in his eyes" you gave of the impression, to me at least, that to be that way you needed firstly, to be "skinny" and secondly to have a problem involving it " I understand you said that at least to you, you got that impression. But they did not imply that in any way. I feel that they took pictures that went perfectly wih the music. I do not believe they had any intent on implying anything but love through this video. ...
loves me, even though i don't see really how or why. I guess its funny how the devil can warp and twist something into letting people see a whole different meaning to that thing than what was origianlly intented by somebody else who wanted to help. I know I'm not happy with myself and who I am and thats part of what makes it painful to call my self a christian and still think this way. I'm sorry i can't finish, someones in the room now talk later
gliche at all. Thats just paranoid thinking. And obviously not everyone will be satisfied with what you produce, thats common sense. Or the large majority that don't look like "that" to be left feeling as though they're NOT perfect in Gods eyes because of the way we look. And even if girls do look like that, because granted a alot of us also do, if you were a anorexia sufferer then just by looking at that video you wouldn't see you're self as "That thin". Though all that being said I know God..
not all of us are suffering from it. But by saying things like "all girls are precious and beautiful in his eyes" you gave of the impression, to me at least, that to be that way you needed firstly, to be "skinny" and secondly to have a problem involving it. Now you say: we "think that people with different shapes and sizes are only seen as beautiful by God", this is not true," and maybe so. But what would you rather? the small minority that saw that gliche, which in actual fact isn't really a..
all these same types of pictures and of course comments, i felt in isolation about the fact that this song couldn't and wouldn't reach me basically because i didn't, and still don't look, like that. Yes I'm a girl, 15. And if you want my personal opinion on you're video's, because i've watched more than one, alot of them seem to aim towards anorexia. Now if you want to reach every girl out here and tell us how precious and beautiful we are then firstly, you need to take into consideration that..
Its not about me "feeling" a certain way. And if that was you're conclusion to the matter then you should have explained it clearly in the given area for comments, additions etc... I understand God's message though and the way he's working through you is awesome. When I made that other recent comment i was bothered by something, everything. And i'll be honest, when God brought me to this video at first i was touched by just everything the song stood for and was, but as i watched on and saw...
Strange how all the pictures of the girls that appear on the screen when words like "frailty" and "beauty" are sung are thin. Awesome confidence builder True beauty productions. Not.
I'm sorry that you feel that way. This has already been brought up, as was the abundance of "white" people in the video. Realistically, we didn't sit there and cut out photos of anyone who wasn't mega thin. The origional video had more shapes and sizes, but we were bombarded with the idea that we had done that because we "think that people with different shapes and sizes are only seen as beautiful by God", this is not true, Every girl is beautiful and precious regardless of age, gender,shape etc
I am amazed at the depth and real truth in this song. How God is the only one who really knows each of us as we really are - He sees beauty like a daddy looking at his little daughter, even if we don't have a dad. Thank you God for loving me and always taking care of me. I love you Lord!
I watched this on Friday night and it made me just break down and cry. Let's just say things aren't great at home and this is so how I feel and so often what I forget...
My daughter sent this too me. I have been doubly blessed because she chose to share this with me and because I have a daughter that believes in herself and her faith,and that is a blessing from God. I can learn from her and her strengths,no matter how old I am.
im a christian woman with all kinds of self image problems i once was what the world calls beautiful at 19 now 48 and fat not so much but im now an artist god came to me when i was a child . iwas watching dark shadows a scary soap poera in the 70s i went out side and saw jesus and 3 sheep in the clouds . there are 2 sides to evry thing good and bad we can choose our will what to believe god gives us that
lovely...I think all of us have felt an outsider, worthless, undervalued, broken or rundown at some point. It's really hard to shake those feelings and believe that we are loved by God. I keep reminding myself that I am but it's a hole thats difficult to climb out of! Thanks for this though..beautiful!
I love this song thnx Natalie Grant for makeing this song i always listen to this song when ever i have flash backs from when i was younger i got abused when i was younger!
exactly religion for foolish but havin´a personal relition ship with Jesus isn´t a religion think about it there´s a big diference. GOD BLESS YA ANYWAY .
i showed this to my friend and she was so overwhelmed by it. she asked loads of questions about God and is now really keen to learn more....thankyou! she, like so many others (including me) had never been told how loved she is by her heavenly father xxx
This IS a a Christian song by a Christian performer and if you get something else from it you are missing the point. I sent this video to both of my Daughters. This song really touched my heart. Keep up the good work!
sorry, unfortunately this song is a Christian song, by a Christian performer, and the video is made by a Christian Organisation.
If you have a song you would like us to do a video with, let us know. The reason we choose the songs we do is because they speak to US personally. Not for show or anyone else.
OK, Christianity is bigger in the US than where I live, but when I see something with a message, they always turn it into something religious (well, not always but hope you get my point). As an atheist, the message of the video loses his meaning partly by connecting it to a religion.
There's no need to apologise, it's your video!
I don't know a song that fits with another video like this, at least, not a song in English haha.
well, what is religion anyway? if believing in Jesus is foolish, the ones who know the truth will stand humiliated for God. i hope you understand that if we don't persecute you, you don't do the same back. faith. it means believing in something or someone you don't see..or believing the unseen.
omg i love this song so much.the first time i heard this song was the day i got saved and every time i hear it tears stream down my face.when im haveing a bad day i put this song on and sit there and cry
what can i say...wonderful..really moving. I have a friend who neds to know how beautiful she is and how much our Lord adores her. she isn't a christian. I'm sending this to her. thanks for providing this at just the right time for her. god bless
i first heard this song at camp bayouca. it made me think that lotsa people pretend to be a certain type of person that they really arent. u should always show your true beauty not anything fake. I love this song.
Firstly, we wanna thank you for all the lovely comments we have been left.. And even for the not so lovely comments..We have loved getting told about how the video makes you feel!
We're collaborating a bunch of testimonies of the video for our MYSPACE page (C'mon girls! get on there, befriend us, and share the love!) And we'd love it if as many people as possible could write something for us!
Thank you so much for posting this! I've listened to it about 25-35 times and NOW it's bringing me to tears. I mean, it's SUCH a good song! I would LOVE to meet Natalie Grant and tell her how much I love this song!
To me, it's about pretending and how it breaks you appart more every day...to the point where you'Re just run down and exhausted and can't take 1 more day like that....have the courage to be yourself, not someone else's copy cat...
That was truely beautiful and has touched me to the core. I have always had self image issues. And I love that song! I guess that I just never thought about it in that perspective.
Wow!! I'm a woman and a christian and this really ministered to me! Thank you so much for this, I really needed it and I know I'll be coming back for a boost when it is well needed. Thank you so much!! God bless you much!
I loved this, it was amazing! this really gives me some hope that maybe there are some people out there that will actually act in the attitude of God and see how beautiful all women are! Our God is awsome!
This =video is so beautiful i was brought to tears and hillsong i dont quite understand what u are meaning by these comments but we all are welcome to our own opinion but from a 15 year old christian girl i think its beautiful
wow, i am actually shocked by the negative comments here, especialy from HIllsong! However, i just wanted to point out...that this blessed me! The pictures showed how the world puts on such a facade, but God in all our junk, see ME THROUGH CHRIST! OH GLORY TO GOD!
We love you and really believe that the Lord looks on you with eyes of love and adoration. Sometimes life manages to break the mirror in which we look at ourselves in, causing us to see a distorted picture of who we really are... Beautiful beyond measure and completely cherished.
I don't really know if your derogatory comments toward us even dignify a reply.... However I wanted to ask you if you were a Christian, though its a little obvious through your actions that love of Christ probably isnt high on your priority list.. but I did want to ask.
I am merely pointing out that your promotion of the female ideal is a artificial image that modern society has pushed on women to make them feel inadequate about their bodies and themselves and keep them buying products. Most women seeing those images will never be that beautiful but will keep trying to live up to it.
Those images may suit yours and my ideals but they are unrealistic.
We're not promoting any kind of body types at all. and if you really think we are we will seriously reconsider the videos.
The point of the images in which there are some unclothed females is to reinforce the thought of vulnerability before the Lord, knowing that He knows all about us, every ugly thought, every crazy dream.. He sees ALL of us and still adores us the same!
I am really confused as to why, as a Christian and a lover of God and His house (for in loving Him we should love what He loves) that you are so critical and derogatory toward Hillsong Church, and in general through Youtube.
I'm not trying to condemn you, or judge you, just merely try to understand why you feel this way toward Hillsong and in general.
i understand what you are saying about how they do promote an artificial image of beauty and sometimes it does make women and men alike who are bigger ppl(like myself) feel inadequate, and although i know true beauty productions didnt intentionally intend to make bigger people feel inadequate and less beautiful by using the pictures of smaller people it still hurts sometimes to think that everyone sees beauty in some one small so i can understand what you are saying
i wrote this comment 2 months ago and since that time true beauty productions explained and (i believe them) that it was not meant to offend,,they even offered to take it down if i really found it offensive which is something i really respect.
The video itself is beautifully made and they made it with the right intention..
oh, well thats nice, i was just agreeing with you because well i agreed with you lol but umm... it is a very beautiful song/video and the song is very inspiring!
I sang this song at church about a week ago. I had to fight the need to want to break down and cry in the middle of the song because the words are so true, so humbling. I ended up started to tear up at the end of the song. Our awesome Lord sees the real me, the real us. Feeling unworthy is the worst thing we can think about ourselves, ladies (and gents). Thank you for making this beautiful video, it really spoke to my heart :)
This beautiful song and video uplift and encourage me always. I am an abuse survivor and only God knows how I feel inside everyday. I know He sees the real me. Thank you.
beautiful thank you for the encouraging verses too I just started reading The Ral Me-Being the Girl God Sees and wanted to listen to Natalie Grant's songs. I'm glad I came across this one.
One of my most favorite songs ever!! God loves me no matter what I do or am going through!!

The real beauty in us is beautiful.

But everyone has an unconscious mind that affects behavior and emotions that leads probably to an inevitable end and indeed this confirm that not everybody achieves 100% happiness in this world.
Knowing our self we understand the rest of the world.

OMG!! The first time I saw your video was at my church during a "Girl's Time" at camp!! We were talking about real beauty and when they played your video I think everyone was blown away! I love the message you are putting across and I really just wanted to thank you!!

Hey darling!
Who played the video for you? What Church? I think I know what camp you're talking about, and I have had such positive feedback! Thankyou!

hwen i first saw this it was acted out from people in my church and my dad just died like the month before and i was sad but i wouldn't let people see it. i was masking my pain and anger and it built up so much and i was working constantly to hide it from everyone even myself. but there was one person who saw it all along...Jesus saw it when no one else did. and i love him and i want to let the world know i love him and need him! i will never stop wanting him! Amen

OK guys! Thanks for your opinions. Honestly! I love being shown different ways of looking at things, because I can sometimes only see some part of what is the big picture. Shrimpette, you got the idea with where we were going. To be honest, we have many times touched on doing a video covering different issues, including one with weight problems in the other direction to annorexia. This was a massive conflict.. would people think we were making fun? Or that we weren't serious?

Neopets07, I'm sorry you find it painful to call yourself a Christain, it is a great and wonderful thing. You do need to be happy with yourself, every little detail, even parts about yourself that some people do not like, because it makes you unique, NO ONE else in the world is just like you. And when you said ....

.... And no one can or will ever truely understand why God loves us so much, but He does, we are His kids, and even through our pain and suffering, His plan is far greater than anything we can imagine.He is and will always be there for us, and for those who have accepted Him, there is a place for him/her in the Kingdom of Heaven. God loves us endlessly even if we can't love ourselves.

" But by saying things like "all girls are precious and beautiful in his eyes" you gave of the impression, to me at least, that to be that way you needed firstly, to be "skinny" and secondly to have a problem involving it " I understand you said that at least to you, you got that impression. But they did not imply that in any way. I feel that they took pictures that went perfectly wih the music. I do not believe they had any intent on implying anything but love through this video. ...

loves me, even though i don't see really how or why. I guess its funny how the devil can warp and twist something into letting people see a whole different meaning to that thing than what was origianlly intented by somebody else who wanted to help. I know I'm not happy with myself and who I am and thats part of what makes it painful to call my self a christian and still think this way. I'm sorry i can't finish, someones in the room now talk later

gliche at all. Thats just paranoid thinking. And obviously not everyone will be satisfied with what you produce, thats common sense. Or the large majority that don't look like "that" to be left feeling as though they're NOT perfect in Gods eyes because of the way we look. And even if girls do look like that, because granted a alot of us also do, if you were a anorexia sufferer then just by looking at that video you wouldn't see you're self as "That thin". Though all that being said I know God..

not all of us are suffering from it. But by saying things like "all girls are precious and beautiful in his eyes" you gave of the impression, to me at least, that to be that way you needed firstly, to be "skinny" and secondly to have a problem involving it. Now you say: we "think that people with different shapes and sizes are only seen as beautiful by God", this is not true," and maybe so. But what would you rather? the small minority that saw that gliche, which in actual fact isn't really a..
neopets07 3 years ago
all these same types of pictures and of course comments, i felt in isolation about the fact that this song couldn't and wouldn't reach me basically because i didn't, and still don't look, like that. Yes I'm a girl, 15. And if you want my personal opinion on you're video's, because i've watched more than one, alot of them seem to aim towards anorexia. Now if you want to reach every girl out here and tell us how precious and beautiful we are then firstly, you need to take into consideration that..
neopets07 3 years ago
Its not about me "feeling" a certain way. And if that was you're conclusion to the matter then you should have explained it clearly in the given area for comments, additions etc... I understand God's message though and the way he's working through you is awesome. When I made that other recent comment i was bothered by something, everything. And i'll be honest, when God brought me to this video at first i was touched by just everything the song stood for and was, but as i watched on and saw...

Strange how all the pictures of the girls that appear on the screen when words like "frailty" and "beauty" are sung are thin. Awesome confidence builder True beauty productions. Not.
neopets07 3 years ago
I'm sorry that you feel that way. This has already been brought up, as was the abundance of "white" people in the video. Realistically, we didn't sit there and cut out photos of anyone who wasn't mega thin. The origional video had more shapes and sizes, but we were bombarded with the idea that we had done that because we "think that people with different shapes and sizes are only seen as beautiful by God", this is not true, Every girl is beautiful and precious regardless of age, gender,shape etc

I am amazed at the depth and real truth in this song. How God is the only one who really knows each of us as we really are - He sees beauty like a daddy looking at his little daughter, even if we don't have a dad. Thank you God for loving me and always taking care of me. I love you Lord!

sorry, unfortunately this song is a Christian song, by a Christian performer, and the video is made by a Christian Organisation.
If you have a song you would like us to do a video with, let us know. The reason we choose the songs we do is because they speak to US personally. Not for show or anyone else.
Sorry.
TrueBeautyProduction 4 years ago
OK, Christianity is bigger in the US than where I live, but when I see something with a message, they always turn it into something religious (well, not always but hope you get my point). As an atheist, the message of the video loses his meaning partly by connecting it to a religion.
There's no need to apologise, it's your video!
I don't know a song that fits with another video like this, at least, not a song in English haha.
DutchGirl107 4 years ago
honey, the message of this video is that GOD sees the real us, and loves us regardless.
There was no message otherwise, therefore, of course to you, the message would lose its meaning... its whole meaning has to do with God!
And I'm from Australia, Not America.

So your using semi erotic photos of underfed models to inspire girls to know their real beauty..hmmmm

It's just the recipe for anorexia and feelings of low self esteem.
hillsongchurch 5 years ago
I don't really know if your derogatory comments toward us even dignify a reply.... However I wanted to ask you if you were a Christian, though its a little obvious through your actions that love of Christ probably isnt high on your priority list.. but I did want to ask.
God Bless you.
TrueBeautyProduction 5 years ago
What do you mean us??
I am merely pointing out that your promotion of the female ideal is a artificial image that modern society has pushed on women to make them feel inadequate about their bodies and themselves and keep them buying products. Most women seeing those images will never be that beautiful but will keep trying to live up to it.
Those images may suit yours and my ideals but they are unrealistic.
I am as Christian as you
hillsongchurch 5 years ago
True beauty productions is more than one person.
We're not promoting any kind of body types at all. and if you really think we are we will seriously reconsider the videos.
The point of the images in which there are some unclothed females is to reinforce the thought of vulnerability before the Lord, knowing that He knows all about us, every ugly thought, every crazy dream.. He sees ALL of us and still adores us the same!
TrueBeautyProduction 5 years ago
I am really confused as to why, as a Christian and a lover of God and His house (for in loving Him we should love what He loves) that you are so critical and derogatory toward Hillsong Church, and in general through Youtube.
I'm not trying to condemn you, or judge you, just merely try to understand why you feel this way toward Hillsong and in general.
TrueBeautyProduction 5 years ago
i understand what you are saying about how they do promote an artificial image of beauty and sometimes it does make women and men alike who are bigger ppl(like myself) feel inadequate, and although i know true beauty productions didnt intentionally intend to make bigger people feel inadequate and less beautiful by using the pictures of smaller people it still hurts sometimes to think that everyone sees beauty in some one small so i can understand what you are saying
alyssamichelle09 5 years ago
i wrote this comment 2 months ago and since that time true beauty productions explained and (i believe them) that it was not meant to offend,,they even offered to take it down if i really found it offensive which is something i really respect.

I sang this song at church about a week ago. I had to fight the need to want to break down and cry in the middle of the song because the words are so true, so humbling. I ended up started to tear up at the end of the song. Our awesome Lord sees the real me, the real us. Feeling unworthy is the worst thing we can think about ourselves, ladies (and gents). Thank you for making this beautiful video, it really spoke to my heart :)
