Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you spinning in a lie that keeps on telling you
That you're not good enough?
And when you looking in the mirror
Do you see someone impossible to love?
Full of fragile broken pieces
We're all rough around the edges
[Verse 2]
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 dragging around
Ain't it time we start laying 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 3]
We're all Davids, we all Marys
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
So bring your faults, your flaws, your secrets
And watch him use those broken pieces
[Verse 4]
'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 dragging around
Ain't it time we start laying 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 5]
No matter where you are right now, let that grace come pouring down
It won't run out
It won't run out
[Verse 6]
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 dragging around
Ain't it time we start laying 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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Beautiful messes, yeah
