Perfectly Imperfect

To my covenant sisters Meech and April. thanks you for sticking with me through hard times. (charing. ang drama.) I'm trying my best to get back on track.

Also, to all my sisters who've held me up when I could hardly stand.

Perfectly Imperfect

You are perfect
just the way you are
We fail every now and then
But we never give up
We're stricken clueless often
But we won't stop asking questions, will we?
(Learning takes a lifetime)
We are embarrassed when our selfishness is exposed
it happens...
But we learn to say sorry

Watching you love breaks my fears
Your brokenness in trying, heals me
We are imperfect people
striving to love
perfectly
It is far from our grasp
but we never stop climbing
enduring

Change for the best
But not to be loved
You already are

You are perfectly imperfect
the way you are
I feel like I am failing, falling
But on me, you have not given up
I am stricken clueless
I feel embarrassed and exposed
It happens...
I am learning to accept
the fact that you've chosen to stay with me
Glued together through imperfect times
We've promised to be alright

I wanna cringe
as I watch you love... my imperfections
It's funny how
we look beautiful when we are weak
It's funny how
imperfect love does make us strong

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - 2 Cor. 12:9

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. - 1 Pet. 4:8
