Just the Way that I Am

Just The Way That I Am
Words & Music by Steve Siler

Made in love by your perfect hand
That’s what I am
A reflection of your image
Meant to be a one of a kind
A special design
With nobody else like it
I don’t have to change one hair on my head
‘Cause I know you love me

Just the way that I am
Just the way I was made
A divine work of art in every way
Just the way that I am
Just the way I should be
I’m so glad
You made me just the way that I am

When I think I’m not good enough
Don’t have the right stuff
That’s the time I should be prayin’
‘Cause it’s when I’m closer to you
that I see the truth
and I know I’m gonna make it
I don’t have to follow every trend
Cause my true friends will love me

CHORUS

You must’ve thought the world really needed me
‘Cause in your perfect wisdom you created me
