Beautiful Messes
[Verse 1]
Are you spinnin' in a lie that keeps on tellin' you
That you're not good enough?
And when you're lookin' in the mirror
Do you see someone impossible to love?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Full of fragile broken pieces
We're all rough around the edges
[Chorus]
We ain't perfect, no
We ain't even close
We got holes in our hearts
We got scars we don't show
But all that baggage, we
Keep on draggin' around
Ain't it time we start layin' it down?
Lay it down at the foot of the cross
Give it to the One who can carry it all
Even at our worst, to Him, we ain't lost causes
Just beautiful messes
[Verse 2]
We're all David's; we're all Mary's
We've been liars, thieves and everything between
But don't forget God used the misfits just like us
To do the most amazing things
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So bring your faults, your flaws, your secrets
And watch Him use those broken pieces
[Chorus]
'Cause we ain't perfect, no
We ain't even close
We got holes in our hearts
We got scars we don't show
But all that baggage, we
Keep on draggin' around
Ain't it time we start layin' it down?
Lay it down at the foot of the cross
Give it to the One who can carry it all
Even at our worst, to Him, we ain't lost causes
Just beautiful messes
[Bridge]
No matter where you are right now
Let thy grace come pouring down
It won't run out
It won't run out
[Chorus]
We ain't perfect, no
We ain't even close
We got holes in our hearts
We got scars we don't show
But all that baggage, we
Keep on draggin' around
Ain't it time we start layin' it down?
Lay it down at the foot of the cross
Give it to the One who can carry it all
Even at our worst, to Him, we ain't lost causes
Oh, lay it down at the foot of the cross
Give it to the One who can carry it all
Even at our worst, to Him, we ain't lost causes
Just beautiful messes
[Outro]
Beautiful messes, yeah
