tears fill up my eyes.
I hide in this darkened place
wearing a disguise.
Sometimes I think I can cope
stuck here in my plight.
But no matter what I try
I can't get it right.
I look at what I'm wearing
it's faded and it's torn.
It is a patchwork of rags
and the knees are worn.
I am still remembering
when I had all things.
But I had to pay the price
for the sins it brings.
How could I go to church
where I could meet God?
Because of the way I looked
I felt very odd.
I will need to find something
so I can look fine.
Then I'll stand before the King
looking so refined.
He'll like the way my suit fits
likes the way I look.
Then He will get out His pen
write me in life's book.
You know I must be crazy
'cause I kid myself.
Thinking I could be something
not stuck on this shelf.
So I will sit here crying
for the shape I'm in.
Lost here in my ugliness
burdened by my sins
A hand reached through the darkness
bringing with it light.
It seized the fear that gripped me
making all things right.
I made a discovery
He'll help me with life's plan.
He takes me at face value
cause clothes don't make the man.
