You are who you are, for a reason,
You’re part of an intricate plan,
You’re a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God’s special Woman or Man.

You look like you look, for a reason,
Our God made no mistake,
He knit you together within the womb,
You’re just what He wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And, no matter how you may feel,
They were custom designed with God’s plan in mind,
And they bear the Master’s seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy,
And God wept that it hurt you so,
But it was allowed to shape your heart,
So that, into His likeness, you’d grow.

You are who you are, for a reason,
You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod,
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!
