Christ through faith
I talked to a Cathy 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
It's 5:46 in the mornin', tossin' and turnin'
Chest burnin', sermons in my head keep reoccurrin'
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 tellin' me I'm six 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 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 ya 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, it'll 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 hurtin' people
I thought at first I had to clean up my life
Now I'm hearin' 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?
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me, will you take me as I am?
I'm sick and tired of tryin' to me the man
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 starin' at this crucifix tatted on my wrist
Is it true what they're tellin' me, am I just crazy?
Did ya bleed on the cross, for my sins, to save me?
But why would ya 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 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 outta 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?
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me
Will you take me as I am?
My father had a few last words to give
I be telling people the reason to live
The reason to die, united with the King in the sky
This life is passin' us by, I got no reason to lie
You'll never give the world enough, they'll hunger for more
They figure there 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 ya heart, mind, body and soul 'cause 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
Ya purpose on earth is far from worthless
That's why ya glorified like ya life's been purchased
And it don't matter if the world don't see us
We still mean the world to Jesus
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me
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 you love me when my life so ugly?
But you came down and died for me
Will you take me as I am?
Yeah, we're saved by grace through faith it's not works
Ain't nothin' you could do, ain't nothin' I could do
That could get us this grace, 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
I talked to a Cathy the other day
And he was like, "Man, I really wanna come to Christ
