Free to Be ME!

Likin' the lyrics to this new song by Francesca Battistelli
(on my playlist! see below)

Now....... If I can only live by them!

At twenty years of age ( ok I am not 20... we won't go there...)
I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right,
and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me


And you’re free to be you
Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and
You tell me That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me


wow... what a word picture ...

On HIS shoulders I am free to be ME!!!
( now if I can only figure out who that is....)

But the amazing thing is.... on HIS shoulders I am free to me.....
who I am right now !!!!!!!!!!! ( dents and rips and all!!!!)
... not who I want to be....
not who others want me to be.....
not who others NEED me to be....
but right NOW on HIS shoulders.....
I am free to be me......

Can there be a better picture of a daughter and her father????!!!!!!!
I think not!
