Perfect People

I thought this song very poignant for myself, as well as, most of the people in the church.  We all figure that the other person has it all together and so we better try our best to look like we have it together as to not feel left out.  So we cover our faults, imperfect-ness, our every day battles and struggles, our strengths and weaknesses;  we cover the times we've fallen and the times of victory when conquerers we are made from deciding to get out of that pit we've fallen into and rising above the low road.  Till basically we have covered what makes up our personalities. But what's more critical is that we are trying to hide the details that God made in us that defines us from each other. 

 This way we can't reach out to fellow sojourners for help or give help on this journey where companionship is vital to making it to our Mt. Zion.  We are all too conscious about how we might look in the other's eyes.  Dear sojourners, this journey is too delicate and too serious a business to hold back and cover up our real selves.  If we're not careful we could end up isolating ourselves from all our fellow sojourners, and we just can't risk it; we can't take that chance.  I pray that this song will seep into the deepest crevasses of our soul.  That it might cause us to seek our LORD more and the fellowship of fellow weary sojourners looking and needing companionship just as badly as you and me.

" Never let 'em see you when you're breaking

  Never let 'em see you when you fall

  That's how we live and that's how we try 

  Tell the world you've got it all together

  Never let them see what's underneath 

  Cover it up with a crooked smile 

  But it only last for a little while

[chorus:]

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So com as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed 

And be changed by a perfect God

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted

When you hear the words that you are loved

He knows where you are and where you've been

And you never have to go there again

[chorus:] 

There's no such thing as perfect people

 There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

[bridge]

Who lived and died to give new life

To heal our imperfections

So look up and see out let grace be enough

[chorus]

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

 So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed 

And be changed by a perfect God"
