You know it's been a long while
Since I've stopped to take a long hard look at my life
When I finally did
I began to notice that too many pieces of the puzzle just didn't fit

There was a melody playing in my life
But the words were all wrong
Somewhere along the road I took my eyes off the map
And started depending on others who've traveled this road

Casually I submitted somebody to tell me what I needed to know
Lord, it's hard to travel when you've got the wrong directions
And it's a never-ending journey
When you are seeking approval of your life through other men's eyes
But lord, you put all the pieces together
And the road is some much smoother simply because

You put the stamp of approval in my heart, my heart
You put the stamp of approval in my heart, my heart

Where am I going and how will I get there
Doing things my way just got me nowhere
Sometimes I'm lonely but I'm never alone
When will I learn I can't do it on my own

I'm searching for love and approval everyone in everyday
But I fret and I worry, but the people say ohhh does it really matter
What the people say and I can't control what they're thinking anyway lord
Right here and right now I chose to believe that God loves me
Someway somehow

He will set me free then I will be living, living a new life
Happy and peaceful and free from strive
But you, my sister and my brother are you looking for someone to love you
Don't worry about it God will and his love is so true

Oh, don't you believe it when they say that you're nothing
God made the whole world gave you everything

You put the stamp of approval in my heart, my heart
You put the stamp of approval in my heart, my heart
