Works, Faith & the Illusion of Perfection

By: Rebecca  Sylvia Dec. 30th, 2010

We've got it all wrong, Somehow it's backwards
Strive for perfection, Thinking it matters.
It's not within us, That comes the source
Good is from Him, And He is our course.
We think if we're good, We get a gold star
Now we've missed the point, Instead we are scarred.
Because we don't poses perfection, It's fake
To think to ourselves, We have what it takes.
It's through Christ we are found, In Him lies a plan
To mend and to make, All that we can't.
If we try on our own, We'll hopelessly fall
Without light it is dark, And we'll run into walls.
We've misunderstood, We've turned things around
Works without faith, This is not sound.
We live like robots, Helpless machines
Without faithfulness or love, How is He seen?
We are called to live in fullness and joy
He has a plan, Lets accept it and enjoy
All of the things He has seen in advance
The work we must do, With faith will enhance
The love that this world, Is meant to know
With God as our source, We can now grow.
