Untitled

notes: This came to me one night. I think it's kind of a song because I started to sing it then I wrote it all down in like five minutes. I'm not sure if this was something in the back of my mind or what but it is copyrighted by me just in case it's a Sarah masterpiece.

Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Do you see a child of God?
Or a sinner yearin' to be free.
Do you see my child-like faith
Or someone who let obstacles get in the way
Of who she's supposed to be.

Oh Lord, I wanna see how you see me through your eyes
I want to see my beauty
I want to see the plan you have for me
I wanna see how my trials have led me to where I'm supposed to be
Oh Lord let me see myself through your eyes.

How can you see me like this through your eyes?
I'm so unworthy of love
And I stray from you everyday

How can you see me a beautiful?
How can you see me as a master plan?
How can you see me a person who's where you want me to be?
Oh Lord help me see myself through your eyes.

I am beautiful
I am worth
I am a master plan
I am who you want me to be.

I am a child of God
I am light in this world
I am loved by you the King of Kings
And I will let my praises ring
For I finally see myself through your eyes.

The Lonely Center Line

The Lonely Center Line
by: Sarah Rittenberry
As I look down the center line, I know that I'm alone.
No one cares
No one feels the pain I have inside.
It's very long when you walk the world alone
And you know deep inside you can't turn back.
You wonder what happened
To the promise of someone walking with you
And holding you to their side.
Regrets?
I have none, but
Deep inside only one...
Will I die all alone on that center line?
