I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14 NIV
From fingerprints to DNA
God made me to follow His way
He’s the Potter and I’m the clay
We each are uniquely designed
Poet is what He says I am
Though some days I feel like a sham
I pen truth of God’s perfect Lamb
I know I’m uniquely designed
Close your eyes and ask God to see
Truly what He made you to be
You’ll find His love and be set free
For you are uniquely designed
