SKIN <\/p>\n

Oh just look at our skin,
\nWhere do I even begin?
\nEven when we are rough,
\nGod has made it so tough.<\/p>\n

Tho we may take a spill,
\nOur skin is quick to heal.
\nHolding everything inside,
\nI so like my outer hide!<\/p>\n

It is a miracle for sure,
\nMy skin I thank God for.
\nWhile mine may be white,
\nYours is black as night.<\/p>\n

Or somewhere in between,
\nGod has His color scheme.
\nTho we don’t look the same,
\nFor everyone Jesus came.<\/p>\n

Beauty is only skin deep,
\nOur soul He wants to keep.
\nAlas, it will peel away,
\nI’ll walk in Spirit someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
