Take Me As I Am

Lyrics

[Intro] Grace through faith I talked to a cat the other day And he was like, man I really wanna come to Christ but I gotta clean my life up first, get my sins together I told him, I used to think that way too I thought I had to change myself before I could come to Christ, but Christ changed me, let me tell you my story, it starts like this [Verse 1] It's 5:46 in the morning Tossing and turning Chest burning Sermons in my head keep re-occurring Having visions in my head of a kid Crying at the feet of the Father For all the wrong things that he did Now I'm sweating in my sheets can't sleep My mind keeps telling me I'm 6-feet deep (don't remind me) Even though I'm still alive I can't tell The way I'm living my life I feel I'm going to hell God they telling me I should accept You That You had to leave the world cause the world left You Reason I can't change, like a mystery to me So I make believe there really is a heaven for a G Even though they say You loved the world so much You shed Your blood God, I feel I'm too messed up for love They tell me come as I am, but I smell like smoke My whole life's full of sin, cause it's all I know The Bible told me that You died for my sins If I believe in Christ to save me from the end But I'm scared to ask You, to save me, my heart so evil I got thoughts that's full of hatred, hurting people I thought that first I had to clean up my life Now I'm hearing, I just need to cling to the light I'm ready to do it, but Lord I pray you understand My life is a mess, will you take me as I am? [Hook] Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am [Verse 2] I'm sick of tryna be the man that my daddy never taught me to be I'm grown up now, life ain't what I thought it would be I made, many mistakes in my past I can't fix Now I'm staring at this crucifix, tatted on my wrist Is it true what they telling me, am I just crazy? Did You bleed on the cross for my sins to save me? But why would You die for me? My whole life I've been working for Satan while he fed lies to me And now I'm hearing too much, tryna get a true touch Of a love that can change me, I'm all screwed up Figure hell is what I deserve But Your Word says we all fall short So I guess we all ought to burn Teach me I wanna learn How You could save a wretch like me Before death says it's my turn I think I finally understand No matter my past You'll still take me as I am Will You take me as I am? [Hook] Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am [Verse 3] If I was dying and had a few last words to give I'd be telling people the reason to live The reason to die United with the King in the sky This life is passing us by, I got no reason to lie You'll never give the world enough, they'll hunger for more They're fickle, their ways are nothin' to the wondrous Lord More security than the man that left you More love than the moms who kept you He'll always accept you Be everything you're supposed to Let Christ rule your heart, mind, body and soul Cause He chose you And if the world don't know you It don't matter, you're Gods child, and He'll never disown you Your purpose, on Earth is, far from worthless That's why you glorify like your life's been purchased And it don't matter if the world don't see us We still mean the world to Jesus He took us as we were [Hook] Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't change on my own Tryna make it alone I wonder How could You love me when my life's so ugly But You came down and died for me Will You take me as I am [Outro] We're saved by grace through faith, it's not works, ain't nothing you can do, ain't nothing I can do that could get us this great salvation that we got man, it's only Christ, so if you feel like you gotta clean yourself up before you can come to Him, forget it, just come to Him, He'll take you as you are, and He'll change you, from the inside, out
