Under My Makeup

by Susan Sampson

Who am I under my makeup?
Am I someone who’s afraid to be seen?
Or am I a daughter of the King?

Who am I under my makeup?
Am I someone who’s afraid to be real?
Or have I been marked by the Holy Spirit’s seal?

Who am I under my makeup?
Am I someone who’s defined by my wrinkles and flaws?
Or have I been set free from the laws?

Who am I under my makeup?
Am I someone who just isn’t good enough?
Or am I covered in Jesus’ blood?

Who am I under my makeup?
Am I someone who doesn’t like my own story?
Or was I created in the image of God’s glory?

Who am I under my makeup?
I am someone who chooses to believe,
That I am a daughter of the King!
