As I Am

Not as I can, not as I could be

Not as I was, not as I would be

You love me as I am

In the beginning before my first breath

Before sin and even before there was death

You loved me as I am

Undeserving, unobliging as I am

You call me your beloved

Just as I am

So rich in mercy, patient in all your ways

Cup for the thirsty, water on desert days

You meet me where I am

Undeserving, unobliging as I am

You call me your beloved

Everlasting, unconditional love I can't understand

You take me as I am

Here I go failing, here I go falling short

Here I go bailing on a grace I could never afford

You save me from who I am

Undeserving, unobliging as I am

You call me your beloved

Everlasting, unconditional love I can't understand

You take me as I am
