Perfection

...let us go on to perfection...Hebrews 6 : 1 (NKJV)

PERFECTION by jadeswallow

When I sought to find perfection
I found it, Lord, when I looked on Thee
The perfect, spotless, sinless Lamb
The Son of God who died for me
The Father's well-beloved Son
Who sat at His right hand
You came to earth, Your glory laid
To pay the price for men.

The wages of sin, I cannot pay
The price of sin, You paid for me
Bearing my sin, my shame, my pain
The Father turned His eyes from Thee
Yet You said, "Father, forgive them,
For they know not what they do."
So I believe, I know it's true
I have found perfection - it's You.

Now in my life, I seek to be
More like You, day by day
Perfect I will never be
While on this earth I stay
Yet I will trust in You, my Lord
My Counsellor and my Guide
To help me through each brand new day
To be more perfect in every way.
