Just As We Are Lyrics

I wish me telling you that I love and accept you meant as much to you as it does to me

Those were the words God spoke to me at one point in history

And here I am speaking the same words to you now

I love and accept you just as you are

You don't have to apologize for being sad or being mad

Your emotions are God given and welcome at all times

You're free to lament for the loss of life that led to a loss inside of you

Jesus wept too

I love and accept you just as you are

Even when you feel helpless towards the hopeless areas inside of you

God remains inside of you

He doesn't jump ship even when you feel like drowning

He doesn't hide himself from you when you feel dirty

Or unworthy

God loves and accepts you just as you are

In all your sadness and anger

In all your shortcomings and all your failures

All your inadequacies He sees them

All your weaknesses couldn't weaken His love for you

God loves and accepts you just as you are

You couldn't drift far enough to exclude yourself from His consuming compassion in which all things orbit

Even at your brokest moments when you can't buy love for yourself God afforded it

God loves and accepts you just as you are

Forfeit the inherent belief of your unworthiness

Adopt the truth that God views you as precious

Love yourself with a fraction of the love God has for you

Feel freedom from the shame that imprisons you

God loves and accepts you just as you are

You don't have to be anyone for anyone else

Just be you for Him

Because He loved you before your sin even began to begin

God loves and accepts you just as you are

Believe it or not God is loving enough to absorb any and all doubts you have

He loves you despite you not loving Him back

He loves you regardless of all the reasons your anxiety proclaims He doesn't

He loves and accepts you as His son and His daughter

So let's come as we are to the Father

No more pretenses or fig leaves to cover

Let shame melt into surety of God's desire to dwell with us for eternity

Let condemnation be cancelled by conviction of mercy

God loves and accepts us just as we are

We are co heirs to the throne and beloved by God

We are a royal priesthood that's deemed just by the high priest

We can find healing for our wounds through the wounds of His hands and feet

God loves and accepts us just as we are

Look how far that we've come

Look at the race that we've run

Painted in tears blood and love

We were pressed but not crushed

We found our pace there's no rush

The Lord is our strength there's no front

We escaped our hell by the hand of our judge

The blood of the lamb

The son of man

And the great I Am

He loves and accepts us just as we are
