"Wonderfully Made" by Ellie Holcomb is a song that explores the theme of self-worth and identity from a Christian perspective. The song is inspired by the biblical passage Psalm 139:13-14, which speaks of God creating and knowing each person intimately. The lyrics of the song express a sense of vulnerability and longing for self-acceptance. The narrator admits to feeling burdened by lies and shame, struggling with self-hatred and hiding their pain. They question what it would be like to see themselves through God's eyes and believe in their true worth. The chorus reiterates the message that God intricately formed and knew the narrator even before they were born. They highlight the idea that they are wonderfully made by God, indicating that their worth and identity come from their divine creator. The bridge of the song acknowledges the greatness of God, praising His mindfulness of humanity despite their insignificance in comparison to the vastness of the heavens. The bridge reaffirms God's promise to never leave and to guide and protect the individual. In the end, the narrator asks for help in believing and seeing themselves as God sees them, embracing their true identity and finding peace and acceptance. The song ultimately encourages listeners to recognize their inherent worth and strive to see themselves as wonderfully made by their loving Creator.
