Natalie Grant Video Aimee's last poem hit right at home with what God has been dealing with in my life and the message that has been being delivered at our church. Aimee, be encouraged that you are hearing from God in a big way. Please read her poem, hear the depth of the struggle of her heart in the first half and the beauty of her surrender in the second half. An awesome piece of work. Click here to read it.
All these things coming together brought back to mind a beautiful song by Natalie Grant. It isn't one of her best songs as a performance is concerned, but, quite honestly, that is the message behind the song. She has one of the most beautiful voices in the industry today, IMHO.
Foolish heart looks like we're here again same old game of plastic smile don't let anybody in hiding my heartache, will this glass house break how much will they take before i'm empty do i let it show, does anybody know? chorus: but you see the real me hiding in my skin, broken from within unveil me completely i'm loosening my grasp there's no need to mask my frailty cause you see the real me
painted on, life is behind a mask self-inflicted circus clown i'm tired of the song and dance living a charade, always on parade what a mess i've made of my existence but you love me even now and still i see somehow but you see the real me
hiding in my skin, broken from within unveil me completely i'm loosening my grasp there's no need to mask my frailty cause you see the real me wonderful, beautiful is what you see when you look at me
you're turning the tattered fabric of my life into a perfect tapestry i just wanna be me but you see the real me
hiding in my skin, broken from within unveil me completely i'm loosening my grasp there's no need to mask my frailty cause you see the real me
and you love me just as i am wonderful, beautiful is what you see when you look at me
This has become a central theme of her ministry. I saw her last fall at the Revolve tour and she is as real as they come. It was great to see a woman young girls look up to who was willing to give them permission to be exactly who God made them to be. This song is great!
Both the poem & song ministered to me greatly.......I identified with both a little over two years ago....Loving friends help brinkg me back from the brink...Thanks for sharing Voice & Aimee.....Cheryl
