Check back to this page filled with inspiring song lyrics for believing in yourself and facing each day with courage. I got a few of these songs from my music therapist when I was in the hospital, and I've selected the ones that I've really found encouraging. I hope you enjoy!
Mirror
By Barlow Girl
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you don't define me
Sorry you don't own me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try
Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me
You don't define me, you don't define me
You don't define me, you don't define me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't tryYou don't define me, you don't define me
You don't define me, you don't define me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try (2x)No Matter What
By Kerrie Roberts
I'm running back to your promises one more time
Lord, that's all I can hold on to
I've got to say this has taken me by surprise
But nothing surprises you
Before a heartache can ever touch my life
It has to go through your hands
And even though I, I keep asking why
I keep asking why
No matter what, I'm gonna love You
No matter what, I'm gonna need You
I know that You kind find a way
To keep me from the pain
But if not, If not I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
When I'm stuck in this nothingness by myself
I'm just sitting in silence
There's no way that I can make it without Your help
I won't even try it
I know You have Your reasons for everything
So I will keep believing
Whatever I might be feeling
God, You are my hope and You'll be my strength
No matter what, I'm gonna love You
No matter what, I'm gonna need You
I know that You kind find a way
To keep me from the pain
But if not, If not I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
Anything I don't have, You can give it to me
But it's o.k. if You don't
I''m not here for those things
The touch of Your love is enough on its own
No matter what, I still love You
And I'm gonna need You
I know that You kind find a way
To keep me from the pain
But if not, If not I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
(No matter, No matter what)
No mater what
More Beautiful You
By Johnny Diaz
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
[Chorus]
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
[chorus]
So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
[chorus]
The Real Me
By Natalie Grant
Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?
(Chorus)
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
(Chorus)
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a Charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
(Chorus)
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
(Chorus)
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, Beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
Someone Worth Dying For
By MIKESCHAIR
You might be the wife,
Waiting up at night
You might be the man,
Struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son,
Who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl,
Thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?
(Chorus)
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for
I know you've heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach
So you just keep asking, what everybody's asking
Chorus
You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah the Cross has proven
That you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose
You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for
