Song of Myself
Oct 23 by Ingrid Schlueter
Today I received an announcement from the gay Wisconsin Cream City Chorus inviting local residents who believe in diversity to join the songsters of Sodom. Included in the announcement was this “signature song” that they sing at each concert. After reading the lyrics, I thought it might just be something evangelicals could use in seeker churches today. It could be sung while sitting in the leather theater seats at church. No need to rise for this hymn. I give you just two stanzas of this amazing piece of music. Click here to hear it as you read the lyrics. Somebody should let Schuller know about this one.
I love myself the way I am,
There’s nothing I want to change,
I’ll always be the perfect me,
There’s nothing to rearrange.
I’m beautiful and capable of being the best me I can,
And I love myself, just the way I am…
I love myself the way I am,
And still I want to grow,
‘Cause change outside can only come
When deep inside I know,
I’m beautiful and capable of being the best me I can,
And I love myself, just the way I am.
What a contrast to what God’s Word tells us.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?
