Lecrae Take Me As I Am Lyrics

It's 5:46 in the morning
Tossin' and turnin'
Chest burnin'
Sermons in my head keep reoccurring
Havin' visions in my head of a kid cryin' at the feet of the father for all the wrong things that he did
Now I'm sweatin' 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 livin my life I feel I'm going to hell
God, They tellin' me I should except 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 is full of sin cause It's all I know
The Bible told me 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
Ive got thoughts just full of hatred
Hurt from people
I thought that first I had to clean up my life
Now I'm here and I just gotta cling to the light
I'm ready to do it
But I pray You to understand
My life is a mess, will You take me as I am?

(chorus)
Will you take me as I am?
I know the way I'm livin' is wrong
but I can't change on my own
Tryin' to make it alone
I wonder, how could U love me with my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me. (x2)
Will you take me as I am?

I'm still tryin to be the man my daddy ever taught me to be
I'm grown up now, life aint what I thought it would be
I made many mistakes in my past I cant fix
Now I'm starin at this crucifix, tainted on my wrist
Is it true what they tellin me or 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 workin for Satan while he fed lies to me;
And now I'm hearin too much
Tryin to get in true touch
About a love that can change me
I'm all screwed up
Figured hell is what I deserve
But your word says we all fall short
So I guess we all owe a bird;
Teach me I want to learn
How You can save a wretch like me before death says it's my last turn
I think I finally understand;
No matter my past You'll still take me as I am.

(chorus)

I had a few last words to give
I've been tellin people the reason to live
The reason to die
United with the King of the sky
This life is passin us by
I've got no reason to lie
You'll never give the world enough
They'll hunger for more
They're fixin their ways of nothin to settle the score
More security than the man who left you
or more love than the mommas who kept you
He'll always except you; be everything your supposed to
Let Christ rule your heart mind body and soul because he chose you
And if the world don't know you
It don't matter, You're God's Child and He'll never disown you
Your purpose on earth is far from worthless
That's why you're glorified 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.

(chorus)
