Don’t look for perfection in others.
You’re looking in the wrong place.
You won’t need much time to find
Their flaws with no eyes of grace.
For if it’s perfection you’re seeking,
You need not go one step farther.
Than to look to the rugged cross.
To the holy Son of God the Father.
He was the only true Lamb of God.
His precious blood had to be shed.
Oh, the power in remission of sins
That also raised Him from the dead.
Yet His disciples had forsaken Him.
Forgetting His promise to them.
Even though He would see the grave,
He would rise and see them again.
His resurrection became the proof
That Jesus is the God of the living.
Restoration to our original design
Made possible through forgiving.
Sin no longer has its dominion
To those who choose to believe.
He sets us on a new life’s path
Paved with hope and eyes to see.
A world that is deeply deceived.
Seeking love in the wrong places.
Every imperfection we each have.
No longer seen through His graces
Let us rejoice in this gift of salvation,
And to live in gratitude and praise.
Shaped into the image of the One
Who made death’s stone roll away.
