Lyrics

For the last few days I haven't been able to get this song by Francesca Battistelli out of my head! It's called "Free to be Me". It's on the radio alot these days and everytime it's on I can't help by sing along.

"At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream

A war's already waged for my destiny

But You've already won the battle

And You've got great plans for me

Though I can’t always see"

Oh how these words resonate in my heart. I feel like I should have my life figured out by now, but here I sit - still unemployed and wondering what in the world God is trying to teach me! I need to remember that my life has already been planned out. I just have to trust in Him.

"Cause I got a couple dents in my fender

Got a couple rips in my jeans

Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy

On my own I'm so clumsy

But on Your shoulders I can see

I'm free to be me"

I love those first two lines. What a great way to talk about your life. We all have a few dents or tears in us. But it's our Lord who fixes us and puts the pieces back together. God knows that I'm feeling a little beat down due to not being able to find work - but He will put the pieces back together when He feels I'm ready.
