I could tell you my life is great,
Make you think it's magical
I could tell you I wouldn't change a thing,
That everyday is wonderful
I gotta real, gotta be honest,
Can't lie to myself or anyone else
Can't beat around the bush, it only keeps growing,
Pushing me from the truth I know

And my life may not be perfect,
You never promised that it would
You only said let me direct it,
I'll make it work out for your good
Hand me all your heartaches,
Simpler said than done I know
Holding on will only frustrate
The perfect plan I want to show to you

Need to stop living this façade
Putting on a plastic smile
What difference does it make what people think,
Everyone lives with their own trials
Go on and be real, go on and be honest,
Stop lying to yourself and everyone else
Don't beat around the bush, it only keeps growing,
Keeping you from the truth you know

And your life may not be perfect,
He never promised that it would
He only said let me direct it,
I'll make it work out like it should
Hand me all your heartaches,
Simpler said than done I know
Holding on will only frustrate,
The perfect plan I want to show to you

Life lived behind a mask
Is not a life at all,
Only an existence
So, peel it all away,
Reveal those scars,
Jesus will live through who you are

And my life may not be perfect,
You never promised that it would
You only said let me direct it,
I'll make it work out for your good
Hand me all your heartache,
Simpler said than done I know
Holding on will only frustrate,
The perfect plan I want to show to you

There's a plan I want to show to you
