Free to Be Me

I just love the lyrics of this song Free to be Me by Francesca Battistelli- it’s from her My Paper Heart album. If you know me, you know I am clumsy, drop things, move too fast and get trapped by my horrible desire for perfection. God is perfection and I am not…I often need to be reminded of that and it actually is pretty freeing!


‘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


When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
