Worthless.
You are worthless, he says
Useless, insignificant, rubbish
He says
And she believes
Takes it all in
She believes every word
She is worthless
Useless, insignificant, rubbish
The words circling in her mind
It is the truth she says
And so she walks on
Useless, insignificant rubbish
Heavy words, slowing killing her spirit
She walks, head down
Shoulders slumped
Carrying the weight of these words
A burden far too heavy
For her slender shoulders
She makes her way down to the pond
The immensity weighing on her
One slow step at a time
Discouragement drowning her
As she murmurs under her breath
Useless, insignificant, rubbish
Round and round they go
Why not help this world
And remove from it
The useless, insignificant, rubbish
She comes upon the pond
Tears running down her cheeks
Looking into the water
She backs up slowly
Startled by what she sees
It is the face of Jesus
Looking back at her
Not her own reflection
Messed up lonely life
Instead she sees perfection
My daughter,
You reflect me
Don’t believe the lies
I have made you clean
Remember you reflect me
Useless, Insignificant, Rubbish
Where have those words gone
Somehow they suddenly vanished
They cannot describe Jesus
So have no place left to land
Remember you reflect me
Words circling in her mind
Joyfully walking
Head held high
Something changed inside
Remember you reflect me
What a refrain
Over and over in her mind
Useless, Insignificant, Rubbish
Gone forever
Remember you reflect me
Oh what a joyful sound
Remember you reflect me
Words so full of life
Remember you reflect me
