Cathy

Looking back on the shadows, places I shouldn't have been

A sensitive heart just trying to navigate the din

It was a hard life at first, carrying all of that weight

Feeling like an outsider, standing at the gate

But I kept my quiet spirit, learned to stand on my own

Waiting for a love that I had never known

Now I am a child of God, I finally belong

He took my quiet whispers and He gave my soul a song

I can depend on Him for anything I need

I'm no longer on the outside, I have been redeemed

The only thing that matters is this holy peace I feel

I am important, and His love for me is real

I find a gentle comfort just sitting by myself

Independent and breathing, I don't need anything else

I enjoy my own company, the stillness in the room

Watching how His presence makes the barren places bloom

He pulled me from the wrong roads and He washed away the past

Gave me a foundation that is always going to last

Now I am a child of God, I finally belong

He took my quiet whispers and He gave my soul a song

I can depend on Him for anything I need

I'm no longer on the outside, I have been redeemed

The only thing that matters is this holy peace I feel

I am important, and His love for me is real

I used to feel so small, looking at the crowd

But I don't need to be the one who's speaking out loud

I am important to the Maker of the stars

He sees the real Cathy and He healed up all my scars

I don't need the world's approval to know my own worth

I am held by the hands that created the earth

Yes, I am a child of God, I finally belong

He took my quiet whispers and He gave my soul a song

I can depend on Him for anything I need

I'm no longer on the outside, I have been redeemed

The only thing that matters is this holy peace I feel

I am important, and His love for me is real
