I heard this song recently and loved it. As I began researching the lyrics to this song, I loved it even more! Why? Because I love being seen through God’s eyes as flawless.

It seems for many years in my life, I wasn’t good enough. I wasn’t pretty enough. I wasn’t thin enough. I wasn’t enough. The worst part was that I believed every lie spoken to me. The evil one kept me in bondage with my self-image issues. I believed his lies over the truths found in God’s amazing grace.

It’s been a tough road to get over these feelings of insecurity, but I’ve managed to break free of this bondage and find I am exactly as God created me to be. I am who I am and what I am through Jesus Christ. That’s enough.

And oh how I love to sing about God’s amazing grace. I stand before God free of blemish and flaw because of Jesus’ sacrifice. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) assures us that we can “approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Confidence that I am flawless with God’s amazing grace.

“Flawless”

There’s got to be more
Than going back and forth
From doing right to doing wrong
‘Cause we were taught that’s who we are
Come on get in line right behind me
You along with everybody
Thinking there’s worth in what you do

Then Like a hero who takes the stage when
We’re on the edge of our seats saying it’s too late
Well let me introduce you to amazing grace

Chorus:

No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless

Could it possibly be
That we simply can’t believe
That this unconditional
Kind of love would be enough
To take a filthy wretch like this
And wrap him up in righteousness
But that’s exactly what He did

(Chorus)
 

Take a breath smile and say
Right here right now I’m ok
Because the cross was enough

Then Like a hero who takes the stage when
We’re on the edge of our seats saying it’s too late
Well let me introduce you to grace, grace,
God’s grace

(Chorus)[i]
