Many Ways One

Beautiful
by Christina Aguilera

Everyday is so wonderful, then suddenly, its hard to breath
Now and then I get insecure, 
from all the pain I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring me down 
So don't you bring me down today 

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom.... 
Trying hard to fill that emptiness,
The pieces gone,left the puzzle undone, 
Ain't that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down 
you are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring you down 
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do (No matter what we do)
No matter what we say (No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune 
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go 
the sun will always shine 
And tomorrow we might awake 
on the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down 
we are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring us down 
So don't you bring me down today


There are many ways to understand the One who is all, the one who is the Beloved, the Creator, the Oneness, the Christ, the Lord of All. And these names are just a few of the descriptions used to understand the Gospel story told about He who came into the world, the son of man, the redeemer.
Music for many, including this simple mind, helps find a way into that same understanding. This song has always led me to that place with its passion, its conviction and its heartfelt meaning-- words can't bring us down. We are beautiful in every single way--we, the Beloved, the Lord's own. Celebrate today.
