According to Him

According To You by ORIANTHI, caught my attention. I struggle with low self-esteem. Strange, I know, since I also struggle with pride. I find a balance when I see myself through God's eyes. This is a song about a girl comparing how she is viewed by one boy and another boy. I changed a few words to make this my song: comparing how I feel viewed by people and how I am viewed by Him, my Heavenly Father.


According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
can't show up on time,
even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

But according to Him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
He won't let me out of His hand.
According to Him
I'm pleasing,
wonderful,
everything He created.

Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like changing it,
so why do you tell me what I got to lose.
He accepts me for everything I'm not
according to you.

According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
you can't take me any place.
According to you
I'm bad at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
you're the only one who puts up with me.
According to you. According to you.

But according to Him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
He won't let me out of His hand.
According to Him
I'm pleasing,
wonderful,
everything He created.

I need to feel appreciated,
like I'm not hated.
Why can't you see me through His eyes?
It's too bad you're seeing me your way!

According to me
you're special,
you're lovely,
we can't do anything alone.
And according to Him
we're beautiful,
incredible,
He won't let us out of His hand.
According to Him
we're pleasing,
wonderful,
everything He created.
Everything is opposite,
We don't have to change it,
He's told us what we have to lose.
He accepts us for everything we're not.
According to Him.

Psalm 139:13-14.
