For my daughter...and for me too

Tonight Brooke and I watched Princess Sweetpea for the first time, a Veggie Tales movie released last year. I'm not gonna lie. I teared up a little during more than one scene in the movie. I remember the day we found out we were having a daughter. I was so excited and immediately nervous about the challenges of raising a daughter of God in a world that focuses so intensely on outward beauty. I love the message of this particular Veggie Tales story more than any other story they've produced. Maybe because it hits so close to home since I still have to remind myself what real beauty is. I hope you enjoy this song (and the movie) as much as I did. I know it's going to be playing in our house a lot from now on.

BEAUTIFUL FOR ME Lyrics
Nichole Nordeman

Every girl young and old has to face her own reflection
Twirl around, stare it down
What’s the mirror gonna say
With some luck, you’ll measure up
But you might not hold a candle to the rest
“Is that your best?” says the mirror to the mess

But there’s a whisper in the noise
Can you hear a little voice
and he says

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Oh
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful for me

If it’s true beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
What my life and what’s inside to give him something to behold
I want a heart that’s captivating
I wanna hear my Father say

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Oh
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful for me

Close your eyes
Look inside
Let me see the you that you’ve been trying to hide
Long ago, I made you so very beautiful
So I ought to know you’re beautiful

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Yeah
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful
You’re so beautiful
Beautiful for me
So beautiful for me
Has anybody told you?
