Lecrae - Take Me As I Am (lyrics)

Purpose was just for you to be able to see the lyrics as you follow along with the rap. There are no interesting pictures in here -- just a verse I added at the end, Ephesians 2:8-10.Here's more album info from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Real-Tal... the record company's website: http://www.reachrecords.com/__... version:[Talking]Grace through faith.I talked to a cat the other dayHe was like, "Man I really wanna come to ChristBut I gotta clean my life up first, get my sins together"I told 'em, I used to think that way tooI thought I had to change myself before I could come to ChristBut Christ changed meLet me tell you my story, it starts like this:[Verse 1]It's 5:46 in the mornin', tossin' and turnin'Chest burnin', sermons in my head keep reocurrin'Havin' visions in my head of a kidCryin' at the feet of the Father, for all the wrong things that he didNow I'm sweatin' in my sheets, can't sleepMy mind keeps tellin' me I'm six feet deepDon't remind me, even though I'm still alive, I can't tellThe way I'm living my life, I feel I'm going to HellGod, they telling me I should accept YouThat You had to leave the world, cause the world left YouReason I can't change, like a mystery to meSo I make believe there really is a heaven for a GEven though they say You loved the world so much, You shed Your bloodGod, I feel I'm too messed up for loveThey tell me come as I am, but I smell like smokeMy whole life's full of sin 'cause it's all I knowThe Bible told me that You died for my sinsIf I believe in Christ, it'll save me from the endBut I'm scared to ask You, to save me; my heartSo evil, I got thoughts that's full of hatred, hurtin' peopleI thought at first I had to clean up my lifeNow I'm hearin' I just need to cling to the LightI'm ready to do it, but Lord, I pray You understandMy 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 living is wrongBut I can't change on my own, trying to make it aloneI 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 and tired of trying to be the man my daddy never taught me to beI'm grown up now, life ain't what I thought it would beI made many mistakes in my past I can't fixNow I'm staring at this crucifix tatted on my wristIs 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 meAnd now I'm hearing too much, trying to get a true touchOf a love that can change me, I'm all screwed upFigure hell is what I deserveBut Your Word says we all fall short, so I guess we all outta burnTeach me, I wanna learnHow You could save a wretch like me, before death says, "It's my turn!"I think I finally understandNo matter my past, You'll still take me as I am[repeat Chorus][Verse 3]My father had a few last words to give:I be telling people the reason to liveThe reason to die, united with the King in the skyThis life is passing us by; I got no reason to lieYou'll never give the world enough, they'll hunger for moreThey figure there ways are nothin' to the wondrous LordMore security than the man that left youMore love than the moms who kept you; He'll always accept youBe everything you're supposed toLet Christ rule your heart, mind, body and soul 'cause He chose youAnd if the world don't know youIt don't matter, you're God's child, and He'll never disown youYa purpose on earth is far from worthlessThat's why youre glorified like your life's been purchasedAnd it don't matter if the world don't see usWe still mean the world to Jesus[repeat Chorus][Talking]Yeah, we're saved by grace through faith; it's not worksAin't nothin' you can do, ain't nothin' I can doThat could get us this grace salvation that we got, manIt's only ChristSo if you feel like you gotta clean yourself up before you can come to HimForget it -- Just come to HimHe'll take you as you are, and He'll change YOUFrom the inside -- out________________My website: http://heyches.com
