Colton Dixon's song "In Spite of Me" is a heartfelt confession of human imperfection and a plea for others to see Jesus beyond his flaws. He acknowledges his own shortcomings and failures, admitting he is not the example he should be. Yet he hopes that despite his brokenness, others will still find faith, peace, and answers in Christ. The song references Romans 3:23, recognizing that all have sinned, but emphasizes being set free by grace. It's a humble, encouraging message about pointing others to Jesus even when we fall short.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
They say nobody's perfect
And I've never been a saint
Not all scars are on the surface
Or written on my face
I'm not the best example
Or the man that I should be
But I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
If you could walk around in my shoes
Or listen to my prayers
You'd hear me talk about my issues
All the crosses that I bear
But being broken doesn't excuse
The life that I should lead
But I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
I hope you find the answers
I hope that you find peace
I'm prayin' your perspective
Isn't based on what you've seen
'Cause I am just a sinner
Who has been set free
I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
It started from the moment
I was learning right from wrong
It's like the verse in Romans
It's true that we all fall
And I am no exception
To chapter 3 verse 23
But I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
I hope you find the answers
I hope that you find peace
I'm prayin' your perspective
Isn't based on what you've seen
'Cause I am just a sinner
Who has been set free
And I hope you find Jesus
I hope you find a reason
To say that you believe
Just keep your eyes on Heaven
It's all you'll ever need
I'm sorry for the damage
The hurt that lies beneath
But I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
I hope you find Jesus
In spite of me
