Take off the Make-up
I've reached the point where I'm on my knees
I lay it all down Lord, everything
All my hopes, all my dreams
All my plans for my life,
I leave it in Your hands It's no longer mine
Turns out all along that I've had it so wrong
This life that You gave, I saw it as my own song
Not anymore Lord, I bring it to You
Tell me where to be and I'll be there for You
I'm not pretending from this moment on
I'm getting rid of my own self till I am undone
I take off the make up and all the accessories
I clear myself of the world and all things unneccessary
I want only you Jesus, and You are forever my reason
Yes, Here I stand before You Lord
Forever I'll be Your little girl
In the distance I see all my dreams
They all seem so near but it's killing me
To fake my own way trying to get to the top
The harder I try the further I drop
I'm not pretending from this moment on
I'm getting rid of my own self till I am undone
I take off the make up and all the accessories
I clear myself of the world and all things unneccessary
I want only you Jesus, and You are forever my reason
Yes, Here I stand before You Lord
Forever I'll be Your little girl
Sometimes I wonder what went through your mind
When You put everything aside and laid down Your life
Stretched out Your arms from the west to the east
And through that act of Grace You Died just for me
So I take off the make up and all the accessories
I clear myself of the world and all things unneccessary
I want only you Jesus, and You are forever my reason
Yes, Here I stand before You Lord
Forever I'll be Your little girl
