Cover: Beautiful by Bethany Dillon

The reason I'm not wearing any makeup is because, as this song expresses, I don't want to only be defined by my makeup or the way I look. I am defined by my heart and who God made me to be.
It's a little shaky, I know, especially the guitar part, but oh well. :)

Lyrics:

I was so unique; now I feel skin deep.
I count on the makeup to cover it all.
Crying myself to sleep 'cause I cannot keep their attention.
I thought I could be strong, but it's killing me.
Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life.

I want to be beautiful, make you stand in awe.
Look inside my heart and be amazed.
I want to hear you say who I am is quite enough.
Just want to be worthy of love and beautiful.

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me.
Fighting to make the mirror happy.
Trying to find whatever is missing.
Won't You help me back to glory?

Chorus

You make me beautiful. You make me stand in awe.
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed.
I love to hear You say who I am is quite enough.
You make me worthy of love and beautiful.
You make me worthy of love and beautiful.

Very nice, lovely singing and playing, good song choice, and I like how you made it a point to not wear makeup and to point that out, a bold statement about our true beauty in the Lord! (And if I may be so bold, you're very pretty without the makeup anyway!)

@MissyRulez93 Here's something that always encourages me. :)

Deuteronomy 14:2 - "...Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be His treasured possession." :)
