Every day I wake up
Turn my thoughts to You
Dress my soul in Scripture
Color my heart with Truth
You make me beautiful
From inside out
You wash my sin away
Your mercy's new each day
I know You love me
And your Word is true
There is no other like You
Oh, how I love You, too
You make me beautiful
From inside out
You wash my sin away
Your mercy's new each day
Eyes are like windows
To the soul
The more time I spend with You
You make me glow
You make me beautiful
From inside out
You wash my sin away
Your mercy's new each day
You make me beautiful
From inside out
You wash the World away
Remove the fear and doubt
Yes, You do
Each day
I spend time with You
Each day
Inspiration Behind the Song
Every day we get up and put clothes on our bodies, and do other beautifying things to make ourselves look presentable. As a spirit with a soul, God has helped me to understand that we need to also dress ourselves spiritually each day by putting on Scripture – reading and praying through the Word of God.
In so doing, we are reminded of how much we are lovingly cherished by our Lord and Savior, and that we are washed completely clean in Christ with a new batch of His mercy for the day. His wisdom from His Word, also, sets our mind and mood for the day, providing a peace and sustained joy that surpasses anything in the world.
My husband actually says that after I have spent time with my Heavenly Father, reading the Bible and praying through Scripture out loud, that it makes me “glow like Moses”. Touched in my spirit from his heartfelt words, I decided to write this song. May it sincerely inspire all of us to be made beautiful from the inside out.
