Free to be Me Francesca Battesteli

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though

(Chorus)

Francesca Battesteli Beautiful Beautiful

A beautiful song.



Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace
(Chorus)
Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful
Now there’s a joy inside I can’t contain
But even perfect days can end in rain
And though it’s pouring down
I see You through the clouds
Shining on my face
(Chorus)
I have come undone
But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace
(Chorus)

A Truthful Speech

“Why do we sleep in church, But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why is it so hard to talk about God,
but so easy to talk about gross things?
Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine,
but find it easy to read Playboy?
Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly myspace bulletin,
yet we repost the nasty ones?
Why are churches getting smaller,
but bars and clubs are expanding?
Why is it so easy to purchase beer and drugs?
But so hard to donate 25 cents for a Charity?
Why is it so easy to worship a Celebrity,
but very difficult to engage with God?
Why do people laugh at you for being religious,
but praise you for thinking dirty and vain?
Think about it, are you going to repost this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you’ll get laughed at?
80 % of you won’t repost this.
[Jesus] said: ‘If you deny Me in front of your friends,
I will deny you in front of my Father.’
96% of people WON’T stand up for God…
Put this on your profile if you’re one of the 4% who will, cause I am"

Mixed motives twist life into tangles; pure motives take you straight down the road.
