Just for us

God you are perfect

Flawless, blameless

How can we forget?

How can we ignore?

The act you did

Just for us

You gave human life to your Son

You sent Him to earth

You let Him suffer

Let Him die

Just for us

For us your Son did suffer

For us your Son did die

Forgiveness, Eternal Life

For the price of an innocent lamb

Now we remember

What you did

Just for us.

Before the King

Before the King in courts of gold,

Advisors stood, advice they told.

The doors burst open and in there ran,

A sinner, a killer, an unclean man.

To his knees before the King he fell,

The advisors, disgusted, “Out!” they yell.

But the King he quietens his advisors cries,

Gets to his knees and looks into the sinner’s eyes.

“My son, my child, please be at rest,

Pray, stay with me and be my guest.”

To his feet the King did rise,

The advisors in their eyes, surprise.

It goes to show our King’s great love

To never reject those who repent from Heaven above.

Not Perfect

I’m not the perfect girl.
I’m not who you expected.
Perhaps I was, but not now.
People change;
I’m not perfect.
I can’t live up to your expectations,
They’re just bringing me down.
I’m slowly destroying the image,
Your image of me –
It’s not who I am.
I’m not perfect.
I fail in tasks, I swear.
I’m disobedient, I drink, I lie.
I just wish you could see
Who I really am.
Not an angel, not a saint,
Not perfect.
Just me.
