U
The God I Would Be
Never before tonight did I think I could kill a man
And sink a knife deep into skin,
But I could kill you.
Surely I could wreck you,
Because you wrecked them.
You rapists, you abusers,
You thieves, you murderers.
I've taken my look around
And all I've seen leads me to believe
That if I was God,
Heaven would be nearly empty
And Hell would be overflowing.
So thank God that I'm not God,
And praise Him for being nothing like me.
I would have forsaken man.
So praise Him for being nothing like me,
'Cause I would have let this world burn.
If I was God, I would do unto you things unthinkable,
Far beyond cruel and unusual.
So thank God that I'm not God,
And praise Him for being nothing like me.
I would have forsaken man.
So praise Him for being nothing like me.
For those who ask,
He gives His grace kindly.
His forgiveness is beyond me.
I would have let this world burn.
And even to the most perverted man,
And even to the most wretched man,
His glory and mercy is given.

These lyrics have been really sticking with me.
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken weary soul
Find your rest and be made whole
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree
In the sky between two thieves
Hung the blameless Prince of Peace
Bruised and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns
“It is finished” was His cry
The perfect Lamb was crucified
The Sacrifice our victory
Our Savior chose the mercy tree
Hope went dark that violent day
The whole earth quaked at Love’s display
Three days silent in the ground
This Body born for Heaven’s crown
But on that bright and glorious day
When Heaven opened up the grave
He’s alive and risen indeed!
Oh praise Him for the mercy tree
Death has died! Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead!
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken weary soul
Find your rest and be made whole
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree
In the sky between two thieves
Hung the blameless Prince of Peace
Bruised and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns
“It is finished” was His cry
The perfect Lamb was crucified
The Sacrifice our victory
Our Savior chose the mercy tree
Hope went dark that violent day
The whole earth quaked at Love’s display
Three days silent in the ground
This Body born for Heaven’s crown
But on that bright and glorious day
When Heaven opened up the grave
He’s alive and risen indeed!
Oh praise Him for the mercy tree
Death has died! Love has won!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome
He has risen from the dead!
Some women may not agree with me on this one, but I, personally, do not like being referred to as "a princess" in regards to knowing God. Yes, I get that He's the King of Kings, and I am His daughter and therefore a "princess". I get that it's probably supposed to be a term of endearment. Perhaps the connotation of "princess" has tainted my view on it, but it just sounds too fluffy and pink and frilly for me. It sounds too much like being put on a pedestal, to raise my ego and status. It sounds too self-focused.
There's nothing wrong with pink, frills, or fluffyness. But in regards to who I am in Christ? No thanks.
