As a song writer, repetition is used to create an important hook in a song, particularly in a chorus. In this case the hook is a proclamation that God is perfect in all of His ways; how can there be anything wrong with that?
I guess the last line depends on how you read it! Yes, it could mean He is perfect in all of His ways to us in the sense that only we see it! There again, it could also mean He is perfect in the ways treats us. That would square with God's grace, faithfulness and forgiveness, amongst many other things, to us. I'm pretty sure this is what is intended in the song.

You know, Nautilus, you can really be ignorant sometimes. Let me educate you:
1. Hymn writers are the lyricists, not the musical composers. And while SOME of the hymn tunes used in older hymns were drinking tunes and folk tunes, the vast majority of them were NOT.
2. If you truly think today's popular music is more advanced than popular music even a mere 40 years ago, might I suggest you take a music appreciation course.
3. I am not stuck in the past. I believe in a fully blended worship experience -- everything from Martin Luther to the Gettys. With that said, I fully believe in using music of high quality, so sometimes that will disqualify folks like Chris Tomlin.
4. It should be "you're" not "youre."

things get old and they die, so should some msuic. you know what music they play in all the dying church congregations around my area? Your precious hymns. Families, young adults, and young couples live those places in droves. The traditional music and services are a death knell to the older congregations. But if your music was so great this shouldn't be an issue? Hmmm, I wonder what bares out? Personal opinion or visible results?
The Gettys also aren't something I would count as modern. They are still hymn writers, which is a dying artform. Churches today and churchgoers are clearly moving more towards the hillsongs and jesus cultures and bethels and sure to your dismay, the chris tomlins.

I have noticed a few problems with some of Chris Tomlin's music along with others.
This is evolving over time, I would suggest it is largely in part to the Passion Conference where multi-culturalism and christian-mysticism collide. When your participating in Lecto Divina, it can mess up your theology. Repetitious prayer leads to repetitious music.

I totally agree, most modern artist like Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman are just throwing "hip" songs with bland lyrics that get the crowd to be happy at the concert.....very little about Jesus Himself indeed, some you can even substitute "girlfriend" in for the pronouns and it sounds like a secular song lol....the hyper grace get's old there are other things to being a Christian like faith, restoration, hope etc...and the divinity of God.....

Not at all. Just because others may do it, does not make it right. As believers in Christ we are to speak with love. Pointing out a simple typo the way you did is not speaking, or does not come across as love. Same with your replay towards me. This attitude and behavior might and will keep people from coming to Christ.
