This song is speaks of us drawing out plans for our lives with "pencils and paper." We think it will go exactly as we plan but the thing is, God has other plans for lives. We tend to make plan our lives and leave Him out of those plans. Although our dreams and plans shatter, perfection remains in what ends up happening in our lives because it is God's will. It's "perfection laced with compromise." Instead of trying to draw out plans for our lives in advance, we need to simply walk by faith and trust God's perfect will for our lives.

This all has been very true in my own life.
