I think I have mentioned before how important music is to me and what a beautiful role that it plays in my life. 

 I came across this song the other day and just fell in love with it.  I sing along to it in the car, while I am working out, and I love that my daughter is learning the words and we sing it together because it has such an important message and I love that she is hearing and learning it. 

Here are the words and I’m hoping you can hear it as well by clicking here: Beauty Mark

“Beauty Mark” Natalie Grant

What do you see when you look at me?
Ten dollar words and philosophies
How would you choose to define me
Cares for others or just cares what others think?

But there is more to me than just what meets the eye
It’s time to be the change inside

I wanna’ look like love
I wanna’ look like, live like faith
I wanna’ live this life in me showing my face
I wanna’ look like hope
I wanna’ look like, live like grace
And I know just where to start
I’ll let you be my beauty mark

Looking the part just to play the game
Cutting cut up face back looks the same
They’re just pass stars making a name
So shut your part it is a crying shame

But I’ll put the finger on nobody else but me
(Nobody else but me)
It’s time to be the dreams we need

I wanna’ look like love
I wanna’ look like, live like faith
I wanna’ live this life in me showing my face
I wanna’ look like hope
I wanna’ look like, live like grace

And I know just where to start
I’ll let you be my beauty mark

Not stopping
Love and joy,
Peace and kindness
Gentleness and self control
Nothing, nothing is more beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahey

I wanna’ look like love
I wanna’ look like, live like faith
I wanna’ live this life in me showing my face
I wanna’ look like hope
I wanna’ look like, live like grace
And I know just where to start
I’ll let you feel my beauty mark

I’m gona’ let you be my beauty mark
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

I wanna’ look like hope (look like hope)
I wanna’ look like, live like grace
And I know just where to start

I’ll let you be my beauty mark

I’ll let you be my beauty mark
