   This is my comment that won’t show up. I’m trying again somewhere else. ha.

   ” “Don’t look at me if you’re looking for perfection, don’t look at me. I will only let you down. I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction, but don’t look at me, no no no…don’t look at me.” I find this a disturbing song, because in effect the writer is saying “I don’t have to be perfect, I don’t have to be a good example; I can’t be perfect so I won’t try!” “”

   I must say I thought it was unfair and biased to your purpose to not include the next line of the song :
   “Look at Him.”

   I don’t like the song either, but that’s just because of musical preferences. I find it annoying. But I always saw it as the writer saying “I’m striving for perfection in Christ, but I’m only human. As a human, try as I might, I’m going to make mistakes. Don’t look at people for your true example of holiness - go to the source.”

   Well written. I commend you. :-)

   Actually, I did not know the song had that line.

   I probably should have commented on the post instead of the invitation, eh? lol
