What does it matter what they say,
what they say against you,
or how they look down and judge you?
What does it matter what they think of you,
when you know how you are
in the eyes of God?
What does it matter how they see you
or what fault they could find in you,
when you have already found forgiveness
from the One that you love?
What does it matter what they say or do?
You have found mercy and light,
and peace and hope.
You have been saved and destined for good
by the Lord whose words
shall have the final say as regards who you are?
What does it matter what they say?
What matters are the words
God Himself has promised you:
You are His. You are loved. You are etched forever
in the palm of His hand!
