MercyMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than going back and forth
From doing right to doing wrong
'Cause we were taught that's who we are
Come on get in line right behind me
You along with everybody
Thinking there's worth in what you do
We're on the edge of our seats saying it's too late
Well let me introduce you to amazing grace
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
Could it possibly be
That we simply can't believe
That this unconditional
Kind of love would be enough
To take a filthy wretch like this
And wrap him up in righteousness
But that's exactly what He did
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
Take a breath smile and say
Right here right now I'm ok
Because the cross was enough
And like a hero who takes the stage when
We're on the edge of our seats saying it's too late
Well let me introduce you to grace grace
God's grace
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter what they say
Or what you think you are
The day you called His name
He made you flawless
He made you flawless
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
The song "Flawless" by MercyMe is a powerful message of God's redemptive grace and forgiveness that makes every individual who receives it flawless. The lyrics express the common feeling of trying to maintain a balance between good and bad deeds, but discovering that our only hope is the cross of Christ.
The song highlights the misconception of many people living in a spot-based, meritocracy-based culture believing that their performance and perfection can earn them a place in God's kingdom. However, the truth is that God's love for us is unconditional and overwhelming, covering up all our flaws and transforming us into people with a new identity in Him. The song's title "Flawless" follows the message of the song, emphasizing that we are perfect in Christ and nothing can disqualify us from His love.
Furthermore, the song features an impressive crescendo that rises towards the end. Overall, the song is a call to all believers to recognize and embrace the amazing grace of God in their lives and not focus on their past mistakes and shortcomings, all of which have been covered by Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

My dad is dying, he is a believer but thinks he has not been good enough to go to heaven. Please pray that myself and others would help give him the comfort and understanding that none of us are good enough, and all we need is to accept Jesus christ as our savior and his grace is enough for us.
