365 - day 58... ED SHEERAN'S 'PERFECT' AS A WORSHIP SONG!!

Ahhh.... this feels like a big risk... but I did something a little different today! Here is Ed Sheeran's amazing hit song 'Perfect' with a Gospel makeover! I have a habit of doing gospel makeovers of pop songs in my head just for fun. Usually its a bit daft and I'd never think of singing it out loud (haha). But this time I couldn't let go of this idea and every line just came to me. So I thought I'd share it with you! Recorded this very simply in my dining room.

Just for the record, I LOVE Ed Sheeran and the original is a beautiful song. No disrespect meant at all and I hope ya'll see this as a tribute to his music and not sabotage :-)

Thanks for watching!
Sending love today and always....
Philippa xx

Perfect Grace (Lyrics)

I found a love, for me
So I'm gonna dive right in and follow your lead
I found a love, beautiful and sweet
I never knew, all of this time it was waiting for me

I was so lost when I found your love
Not knowing what it was
Broken until I saw your light
In a moment you made me whole
Took me and led me home
Now, I'm not afraid to testify

Oh, I
I was dancing in the dark
When I saw your open arms
Barefoot on the cross
And now I hear you in every song
When my life was still a mess
You saw something beautiful
I don't deserve it, but your grace is perfect tonight

I found a saviour, stronger than darkness
He takes my fears, and I never fear I'm alone
I found a saviour, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, and every burden in my soul

I was so lost when I found your love
Standing against all odds
I know I'll make it through somehow
What was once lost is redeeemed
A heart once in chains now free
And I"m not afraid to testify

Jesus I,
I was dancing in the dark
When I saw your open arms
Barefoot on the cross
And now I hear you in every song
When my life was still a mess
You saw something beautiful
I don't deserve it, but your grace is perfect tonight

Oh, I
When I'm dancing in the dark
I will raise my weary arms
And thank you for the cross
And a grace that's enough for anyone
Cos you found me in a mess
And saw something beautiful
I don't deserve it but your Grace is perfect
I don't feel worth it, but your Grace is perfect tonight

Perfect Grace (lyrics)

I found a love, for me
so I'm gonna dive right in and follow Your lead
I found a love beautiful and sweet
I never knew, all of this time It was waiting for me

I was so lost when I found your love
not knowing what It was
broken until I saw Your light
in a moment you made me whole
took me and led me home
now I am Yours and You are mine

Oh I
I was dancing in the dark
when I saw Your open arms
barefoot on the cross
and now I hear You in every song
when my life was still a mess
You saw something beautiful
I Don't deserve It, but Your grace is perfect tonight

I found a Savior, stronger than darkness
He takes my fears, and I never feel I'm alone
I found a Savior, to carry more than just my secrets
to carry love, and every burden in my soul

I was so lost when I found Your love,
standing against all odds
I know I'll make It through somehow
Cos what was once lost is redeemed
a heart once in chains now free
and I'm not afraid to testify

Jesus I...
I was dancing in the dark
when I saw Your open arms
Barefoot on the cross
and now I hear You in every song
when my life was still a mess
You saw something beautiful
I Don't deserve It, but Your grace is perfect tonight

Oh I...
when I'm dancing in the dark
I will raise my weary arms
and Thank You for the cross
and a grace that's enough for anyone
When You found me in a mess
You saw something beautiful
I Don't deserve It but Your grace is perfect
I Don't feel worth It, but Your grace is perfect tonight

+Philippa I can no longer listen to Ed Sheerans song anymore without hearing this rendition behind it! Ed’s song is no longer the same!!!! All I can hear is your song! My father had never heard Ed’s song before and when he discovered it just a couple weeks back, he was absolutely taken by
LOL Until I told him to listen to your version of it! That was all it took!! Just once heard, and he can’t stop listening to it, just the same as I!!! Thank you for sharing your recording with us! God has blessed you incredibly with a gift of Song, a gift of writing lyrics and amazing vocals! Xo

[marinakeza]

😢😢This song has always made me think about God💘. I am so glad, there is a christian version of it now. Thank you😘

[toonani]

one of the best version of changing that worldly song into a meaningful song

[joanijackson]

This is such a precious cover song of Ed Sheeran!s turned into a Christian song. Praise be to God 🙏🏻🛐✝️

This Song brought me to tears!. I think you should do MORE Pop-to-Christian Mixes! Keep up the GREAT work Sister 💜
Shalom, Maranatha and much blessings to you and yours

[jetsteve]

This isn't about which version is better. Each person made it their own. Don't be afraid to take chances. This came from your soul and you did a fine job with this one.:)

[ovidiucristea]

As an atheist, and former Christian, I found your rendition incredibly beautiful and moving. Very nice work!

[malaefretton]

No other greator love compare to the love of God. 💗💗💗💗💗💗

[MerynNixon]

Unreal. Even more beautiful than the original. I'm not an overly religious person but I think your art & message transcends that. This really touched me :)

[wilainedy]

this is a perfect picture of God's love for us and how He saved us. i got chillz while listening to it! almost cried on the last part after remembering how Jesus took me out of the dark.
"i don't deserve this but your grace is perfect tonight." 😭💖
