Mandisa - True Beauty Lyrics






Do You think that a California girl is supposed to have curls and wear a jean size 3?
All the curves in all the right places, spray tanned faces like on TV?
And we read in the gospel of Vogue that we're all supposed to dress and move and be
Visions of perfection
Such a misconception
'Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can see

[Chorus:]
What's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and the stars
The mountains and the seas
Made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously
Let the whole world see your
True beauty

Don't know much about Dolce and Gabbana
Seems like a lot of drama to me
And you can keep all your red high heels
And open-toed shoes - I'm good in my bare feet
Lets get down to the nitty gritty
Enough sex and the city
What about purity?
Skin is just the surface
The passion and the purpose that's burning down inside us
Is really what we need to see

[Chorus]

Doesn't come in a bottle, doesn't come in a box
You can't spray it on, you can't wash it off
You can't nip and tuck, you can't sew it up
So don't waste your time
It's the love in your heart, the peace in your soul
The hope in your smile lets the whole world know
This little light - you gotta let it shine

[Chorus x2]

  1. K.... S....

    I'm so blessed today I found your song... teens should know songs like this more :')

  2. D.... F....

    1 Peter 3:4 (I might have got it wrong) Let it not be the adorning of clothes or the plating of hair but let it be the man of the heart who is holy

  3. C.... R....

    Real talk

  4. J.... P....

    That was beautiful! Being a guy, I still struggled with eating disorders for several years! It was a horrible thing to be chained to! My conception of beauty was a lie- a fable. I damaged my body, my relationship with loved ones- I damaged my life. But even then, when I turned it over to God, He started to make something beautiful out of me & my life
    I'm still learning to see me as He sees me. It is still a fight, but praise God I'm not where I used to be!
    To God be all glory 4ever! OurVictory

  5. e.... ....

    I look at beauty as a reflection of one's heart and soul. My outward view of one is based on the inner person. We are to be reflections of God, and if God looks at the heart I shall as well.

  6. H.... C....

    You are a masterpiece.

  7. H.... C....

    But it's NOT okay, to look the way people want you to look.

  8. H.... C....

    You mean a lot of people judge by the outer appearence. Not everybody. I don't. I get to know the person first before I decide I don't like them. There's this girl, who wore a lot of makeup. And I HATE makeup. But guess what, that girl, is now one of my best friends. What you wear, and how you look, doesn't make you who you are. Who cares what other people think? Just as long as you have true friends, you're okay. Just as long as you have God, you're okay.

  9. J.... K....

  11. J.... A....

    i love this song bare feet rock!

  12. s.... ....

    I am going through self-image struggle and let me tell you...you are beautiful in God's eyes. Read 1 peter 3:3-4 and Songs of Solomon 4:7. You are Beautiful..He made you. And He will send you a man that has been worth a wait that will find you beautiful of all of you.

  13. J.... R....

    LUVE IT!!!!!!!!

  14. E.... ....

    I want to pour out my heart about body image because I feel this is a good place to do it because the most of us struggle with it and we all seem to be Christians 'cause we love Mandisa's music :). I'm getting really confused about what's "ideal beauty" because meanwhile there are thin and fit girls in music videos and the general of magazines I get dumped by a man for not being curvy enough! My shape is rectangle & I consider myself quite slim but great abs are missing. How should I see myself?

  15. K.... C....

    my friends at chruch are going threw things and i looked this song up an told hem about it and i think that now they are doing better. because of it

  16. D.... ....

  28. C.... C....

    Heard this song for the first time today; I completely fell in love with it! It really explains what true beauty is in God!

  29. B.... ....

    Amen! Christ in me makes me beautiful :)

  30. W.... ....

    @sizzlinfr you don't hear about her probably cause she is a christian singer now. christian singers don't get near as much publicity as others. not that they want it anyways

  31. B.... L....

    @virtuouswoman123 I have met very few! Remember those that follow the narrow path are few and few who find it but the broadway wich leads to destruction many find it. You are the part of the few who will not just date because they love God but do not desire the kiss, touch, and holding the hand!!! WOW! There are very few virtuouse women!!!!! Be honest with me there are few!! Not by word but by lifestyle. By the way they dress, talk, and walk!

  32. B.... L....

  33. B.... L....

    @virtuouswoman123 Well you see I am very picky. I mean not just not the sencual stuff i mean not even kissing a girl or holding her hand or even trying to date her!!! I am just a wierdy!! Your not the first I have met two others but you have spken so boldy about it without no exsuces either!!! A woman who is so bold about god , who will not compimise even a little, and puts her believes in Jesus by action without worrying about being pointed at as strange, rare, weird, or just reject!

  34. S.... ....

    @ppcjjdm
    And His diciples will surely turn the places God where them upside down with LOVE!!!

  35. S.... ....

    @ppcjjdm
    I believe what you do because I believe the truth. And it is indeed the truth. and im surprised that im the first one you've met like this. There are many people that i know and even those i dont know that choose to wait on God while faithfully serving Him. And God must be our everything because the emptiness we don't allow Him to fill, we will look for in someone else and end up dissapionted.

  36. B.... L....

    @virtuouswoman123 If it is not then it will fail!!!! Even God said IF ANY MAN LOVES HIS MOTHER, FATHER, WIFE , BROTHER OR SISTER ABOVE ME THEN HER CAN NOT ENTER THE KINGDOME OF GOD!!! May God be our first love!!! I am not dating anybody!!! It is not God's timming and season yet. Thankyou for your encouragement!!! We are like the 12 desciples! WE may be few but we can turn this world upside down for God's kingdome!!!!!!!!

  37. B.... L....

    @virtuouswoman123 I do not want to preach to you but to open the eyes of others to show them that dating is the worlds way not God's way! I want to be your b0y-friend not your boy friend who i just kiss and hold hands and use and abuse!!! Why can't we have self controll and wait until marrieage for all that?! Why do you believe like I do?! Your the first one that I have met who believes like I do!!!!!! The first rule to any relationship is that GOD must be the center!

  38. S.... ....

    @ppcjjdm
    WHAT!! Man you preaching! That is exactly what I believe when it comes to relationships. I am so glad that God is opening up the eyes of His young people so that they may see the game behind dating. Like my pastor says " .. it will always leave you hurt broken and all messed up.." if you do not do it God's way!
    p.s. At first she may not be what you want according to fleshy criteria, but when you get to know the inside of her... boy you will surely fall in love with her. GOD is Good!

  39. B.... L....

    @ppcjjdm What he wants I want!!! WE all may have a list of the person we want or dream of but God will give the one we need!!! I love you all my sisters!!! Keep your selves pure not only by deed but thought!! Also if you are dating or want to date I greatly encourage you not to kiss or hold hands!! Let the kiss and hold of hadns be something presiouse and kept for the right time when the preacher says NOW, YOU MAY KISS YOUR BRIDE!!!

  40. B.... L....

    @virtuouswoman123 Thankou!! Why I think this way because first Jesus Christ second i do not date!!! I am not saying that you should not date but to be real to you dating is a game if it was not then there would not be so many dating sights!!!! I do not need to search for the right one! God has one for me and is preparing one for me!!!! If you will wait for God's timing and season then you will be in his perfect wil! She may not be what I want but God wants for me!

  41. S.... ....

    @ppcjjdm
    Amen my brother in Christ!! Continue to uplift your sisters! May God continue to mold you into His Beautiful image. Be Blessed! :D

  42. B.... J....

    I love this song!

  43. H.... W....

    how could someone dislike!!
    gosh!!

  44. D.... ....

    love this song

  45. B.... L....

    As a brother in the Lord I want all my sisters to know that God has made you wonderfully and fearfully made!!! As long as you believe that your beautifull inside then you will believe your beautifull on the outside. Every woman in the univierse is beautifull because God created them that way. God loves you for who you are not for anything else. God loves YOU!!! So do I!!!!!!!!

  46. L.... A....

    wow where have I been ?? this ladys got it.

  47. l.... ....

    WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. M.... S....

    Letting the whole worl see my "true beauty" Bless the Lord. I'm honestly beautiful on the outside but I ameven more beautiful o the inside because God lives in me!

  49. d.... ....

    ok, so a gentle quiet spirit is precious in the eyes of God, but man looks at the appearnace, God looks at the heart (proverbs). so to live in this world we still need to dress presentably. cos only God looks at the heart. christians also look at the outward appearance. don't kid ourselves.

  50. d.... ....
