Fingerprints of God.

I can see the tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like a magazine
Oh but when I look at you
Its clear to me.

(Chorus)
That I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God.

Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living, breathing
Priceless work of art.

(Bridge)
Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
And God's not through
In fact He's just getting started.

Flip any women's magazine and you're sure to see beautiful, fashionably dressed models on nearly every page. Their perfect hair, slim figure, flawless make-up and unless you're Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba; you wish you could look like her. Apparently that's what 13yr old, Emily Chapman was thinking one afternoon as she leafed through some magazines. She began to cry, feeling less than perfect and gorgeous when she could not look like any of them in the pictures.

Fortunately, Emily's parents were there that day to dry her tears. That might have been all that came of that rough afternoon for Emily. Steven wanted to give her more than just a hug, he wanted to communicate his and God's love without sounding preachy so he did what he does best - he wrote a song. He said; I don't know what you see when you look in the mirror that you don't like, but what i see is God's fingerprints all over you. That's how this song was written.

There's so much truth in the lyrics. All of us experience the same feelings in one way or another - We don't feel good looking enough, perhaps we don't feel popular, godly or don't seem to measure up to the standards of the world. Psalm 139:13 says how He has formed us in His image and that's just the way He loves us. Why would we want to look any other way.
