I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
He who put the stars in plce
And knows them all by name
Has made me fearfully and wonderfully made.
I am made in the image of God
I am made in the image of God
From the top of my head to the tips of my toes
My Lord, my name He knows
I am made in the image of God.
