becoming

I heard a song this weekend that could have been written for me, the EXACT moment I was hearing it. If I've ever felt the hand of God on a moment, it was this one. I can't even read the lyrics without tearing up. If you do one thing today, listen to this song. holy crap!

Becoming by April McLean

I know I made you cry
I failed you left and right
And I've been too hard inside to see you hurting
And I guess all I can say
Is that even at my age, I'm still learning

And I know it's hard to believe
But there's been a change in me
And what I could not give you then
I can give you now

I'm becoming
whole
And I'm becoming
healed
And I'm becoming
something beautiful to see
I'm overcoming fear
And I'm overcoming shame
And I'm becoming
so much more than me

That's why I'm here tonight
To try and set things right
And rebuild the bridges I once left burning
I cannot change the past
I cannot change your mind
I guess all I can change is me

So I'm becoming
strong
And I'm becoming
wise
And I'm becoming what you thought you'd never see
I'm overcoming pride
And I'm overcoming blame
And I'm becoming so much more than me

I'm becoming
whole
And I'm becoming
healed
And I'm becoming
something beautiful to see
I'm overcoming fear
And I'm overcoming shame
And I'm becoming
so much more than me
