Under My Makeup

by Susan Sampson

Who am I under my makeup?

Am I someone who’s afraid to be seen?

Or am I a daughter of the King?

Who am I under my makeup?

Am I someone who’s afraid to be real?

Or have I been marked by the Holy Spirit’s seal?

Who am I under my makeup?

Am I someone who’s defined by my wrinkles and flaws?

Or have I been set free from the laws?

Who am I under my makeup?

Am I someone who just isn’t good enough?

Or am I covered in Jesus’ blood?

Who am I under my makeup?

Am I someone who doesn’t like my own story?

Or was I created in the image of God’s glory?

Who am I under my makeup?

I am someone who chooses to believe,

That I am a daughter of the King!
