What matters

To understand our lives, we need to know what matters to us
What makes us happy, makes us smile,
Gives us strength and beauty
When we understand most things die,
Life matters to us
It helps us all, it gives us strength,
Gives us truth, gives us mercy
Why do I matter?
I matter because I love you
I breathe, I eat, I woke up this morning
because God gave me life
So her mercy, her grace, her beauty
It’s all on me
I matter because God told me she loves us —
she loves me; Jesus loves me
And I am worthy
That’s the reason I matter
To know it is pure of heart
To get through life, to know you matter
When you know this, you feel better
What matters?
My children, my family, my friends
My life
Things that make me happy, smile, understand
Things that make God happy
To know we love her so much
To understand her love,
Her blessing, her mercy, grace, and kindness
That’s the reason I matter
When we think about ourselves
What makes us happy?
To know God’s got us 24 hours a day
To know pure love, that matters
To know we are worthy
To ask God for forgiveness for all of us
To me, that matters
