I just “sovereignly stumbled” upon two beautiful reflections on how God fearfully and wonderfully makes us (Psalm 139:13-14).
One is a song—by Ellie Holcomb.
The other is a poem—by Gloria Umanah.
The song (see link below) includes a moving recitation of the poem.
Wonderfully Made by Ellie Holcomb
Here’s a link to the song: Wonderfully Made.

A word of preparation—the words are like the words of a lament psalm—real and raw as a heart cries out honestly and desperately to God…
Lyrics to Wonderfully Made
It’s two in the morning
And I’m still awake in my bed
And I can’t shake these lies that keep reading
Around in my head
What if I saw me, the way that You see me?
What if I believed it was true?
What if I traded, this shame and self-hatred?
For a chance at believing You
That You knit me together
In my mother’s womb
And You say that I’ve never been
Hidden from You
And You say that I’m wonderfully
Wonderfully made
You search me and know me
You know when I sit, when I rise
So You must know the choices I’ve, made
