Jane aka Froogs/Frugal Queen shared this one and asked us to pass it on. It’s by a lovely young singer/songwriter, Claire Bruff, from the West Country, who sings in her worship group. I’m happy to pass it on Froogs- because I agree with you that a voice raised to the Lord like this is beautiful! Thank you for this Christmas gift!
Perfection
So afraid to, participate to, even try,
So I’ll stand by and I will,
Make excuses, for not advancing,
Not pushing myself into anything and
Oh this perfection is misery.
So critical, this I know, nothing I do is good enough for me and I’ll,
Put myself down, before you can
Afraid to fail so instead I’ll bail out and
Oh this perfection is misery.
And I can feel You working it out,
I can feel us breaking ground,
I can feel Your arms surround,
Holding me in this moment,
Changing me in this moment.
I am learning, to be accepting, of myself,
Can you tell as I am, singing this song,
It’s not perfect, ‘cos I know that I’m not perfect but
He is perfection in me.
Words I can identify with. I'm never good enough for myself but praise God He sees me as perfect in Christ. Thank goodness! I'd never make it otherwise
