Diamond In The Rough

VERSE 1
They say nobody’s perfect  
We all have our scars
You may not be flawless
When you look in your heart

But beneath the many layers
Grace sees beyond the dirt
Inside the jagged edges
There’s a gem of worth

CHORUS
You’re a diamond in the rough
God created you in love
You’re no ordinary stone
Cause He’s claimed you as His own      
A diamond in the rough
He’s making you His treasure
A precious gem forever
A diamond, diamond in the rough

VERSE 2
God takes you as you are
And tenderly shapes you
A masterpiece of art
He won’t stop til He’s through

Oh the mystery and wonder
Of His refining love
He changes you forever
With His tender touch

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He keeps polishing,,,,perfecting
Til He sees His reflection in you 

CHORUS
