Imperfect People

Verse 1

I put you on a pedestal so high

I thought that you’d never fall

But somewhere between the faith and the fight

You turned out human after all

And I felt the ground shift under my feet

When you let me down that day

Like the hero I’d been counting on

Just quietly walked away

Pre-Chorus

But who am I to throw the stone

When I’ve got cracks of my own

Chorus

We’re all imperfect people

Trying to do what’s right

We crack beneath the steeple

We fail in plain daylight

But God picks up the broken ones

And uses them somehow

Only One was ever perfect

And we’re His hands right now

So I’ll give you the grace

That I’m gonna need

We’re all imperfect people

Including me

Verse 2

I think of all the ones He chose

A shepherd boy, a fisherman’s hand

A doubter and a man who denied

And somehow that became His plan

So maybe you’re not so different now

From everyone He ever used

The pages of that old worn book

Are full of people just like you

Pre-Chorus

So who am I to walk away

When I’ve fallen just the same

Chorus

We’re all imperfect people

Trying to do what’s right

We crack beneath the steeple

We fail in plain daylight

But God picks up the broken ones

And uses them somehow

Only One was ever perfect

And His hands right now

So I’ll give you the grace

That I’m gonna need

We’re all imperfect people

Including me

Bridge

I’ve let people down

In ways I can’t undo

And somebody somewhere

Showed me grace too

So maybe that’s the whole point

Of the story being told

That the vessel doesn’t have to be perfect

To carry something gold

Final Chorus

We’re all imperfect people

Trying to do what’s right

We crack beneath the steeple

We fail in plain daylight

But God picks up the broken ones

And uses them somehow

Only One was ever perfect

And we’re His hands right now

So I’ll give you the grace

That I’m gonna need

We’re all imperfect people

Including me

Including me

Outro

Just imperfect people

That’s all we’ll ever be

But somehow that’s enough

For Christ to set us free
