My Value


My union with you
Is the starting point
Of the rest of my life

As I believe in you
I am seen by your Father
Exactly as He sees you

I am who you are
I am who He is
I am crucified with you

I am unified with you
I am identified with you
That is the full story

I am not the mistakes I have made
I am the righteousness that He has made
In His eyes, I belong to Him

I am not the wrongs I have done
I am the faultlessness that He has been
In His eyes, I belong to Him

I am not the sins I have chosen
I am chosen by the beloved
Regardless of the choices, I have made

In Him, I am chosen and accepted
I am justified and anointed
I am saved and forgiven

I am redeemed and complete
I am free and I am Christ’s friend
I am God’s child and the Spirits home

My value is not defined by what I’ve done
Or what I have said
Or even who I am friends with

My value is defined by the One
Who said it is finished
And who achieved it all
