You loved me first
When you look at me
You don’t see the reflection I see
These rugged hands no one holds
No one bold enough to make a move
To love like you do
These reflections are mere contemplations
Stirred up by lies of a sinful nation
Glass breaks, I break, you bless
But false accusations has led to great devastation
Carving scars on porcelain skin where they don’t belong
Trapped behind bars where I believe lies are true, and truths are lies
Blind to the freedom I was made for
Afraid of suffering I cower from the cross
Where my only hope hung by iron nails
That dug me out of insecurities
And with one last breath declared love
that sees beyond shattered glass and broken hearts
you pick up the parts and mend the wounds
that have haunted my days
you dare hold the scabbed and abused hands
hold them tight
promise to never let go
to show me off to the world
for everyone to witness the beauty that you have made
When you look at me
I smile because you loved me first
