Love Yourself
I was sitting at a conference filled with writers for the Lord
Though our writing styles were different
Our hearts were in one accord
As the speaker talked I listened
Then something caught my eye
I saw a cross up on the wall where the Lord was about to die
I really tried to concentrate on what the speaker said
But Christ was looking straight at me
And before He bowed His head
His eyes full of compassion began to fill with tears
He know I had been struggling to love myself for years
Before He died He said to me
You must learn to love yourself as much as I love you
And my Father up above
After Jesus said these words His Spirit left the earth
But He made sure He made it clear
Just how much I was worth
Still sometimes I find myself not being kind to me
Then I think of that one night when Jesus made me see
That I'm a special masterpiece and I'm precious in His sight
When all I see is darkness I'm surrounded by His light
Written in 1987 (this is a true story)
