True Beauty It’s Christmas Freedom

Jesus,
thank You for not leaving me
as I was at the beginning
of this album process; low on
hope, dejected, a bit jaded,
and feeling far from You.
You allowed me to come to
You just as I was ... and it
wasn’t pretty. Thank You for
showing me that I was free
to take the mask off and lay
everything out before You. As
I did that, even before You
changed my circumstances,
You began changing my heart.
I asked the question, “What If
We Were Real?” and You used
my life to show me the answer:
You made me “Stronger” and
became my “Lifeline.”
