Natalie Grant's song encourages listeners to let go of the pretense of perfection and come to God just as they are. It speaks to the human tendency to hide brokenness behind a smile, but offers the liberating truth that God's grace is enough. The lyrics emphasize that there is no perfect person or life, yet a perfect God can bring change and healing. The song reassures that God knows our past and present, and through His love, we can be lifted and transformed.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live and that's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let them see what's underneath
Cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
[CHORUS:]
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again
[CHORUS]
Who lived and died to give new life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see out let grace be enough
[CHORUS]
By a perfect God [5x]
Be changed by a perfect God
Be changed
