Lyrics
Hands that have done wrong we lift towards the heavens.
Lips that speak unkindness, sing the praises to His name.
Ordinary words are used to praise our King
As we keep on longing for the day when we, will give Him
Perfect praise
And our voices won't grow weary
Perfect praise
Singing everlasting song
With hearts both pure and holy through forever and a day,
We will offer up our perfect praise.
Just imagine if you can all the splendors of heaven
As the Book of Life is opened and all the names are read inside.
Where at last He calls our names, glorified we'll kneel in place
In fullness of His presence, we will look upon His face.
And give Him
Perfect praise
And our voices won't grow weary
Perfect praise
Singing everlasting song
With hearts both pure and holy through forever and a day
We will offer up our perfect
Praise you God our Father, Lord you are so great.
Bowing down before you giving honor to your name.
Perfect praise, hmm
Perfect praise,
Oh, we'll give Him
Perfect praise
And our voices won't grow weary
Perfect praise
Singing everlasting song
With hearts both pure and holy through forever and a day
We will offer up our perfect praise.
Oh, with hearts both pure and holy through forever and a day
We will offer up our perfect praise.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Perfect Praise” contrasts present human weakness with the faultless worship imagined in God’s presence. Hands that have done wrong are still raised, unkind lips still sing, and ordinary language is offered to the King. Those opening images acknowledge imperfect worship without dismissing it. The repeated hope of “perfect praise” then looks toward a future in which weariness and impurity no longer interrupt adoration.
The second verse develops that hope through the Book of Life, resurrection glory, kneeling, and seeing God face to face. Revelation 21:27 provides a clear biblical connection to names written in the Lamb’s book of life, while Revelation 22:3-4 describes God’s servants worshiping him and seeing his face. The lyric’s final movement turns from anticipation to direct honor: God is named as Father, praised for greatness, and approached with reverence. Its central theme is therefore not human performance but worship made complete in the eternal presence of God.
