As You Are

(album: Interactive - 1999)

In a world
When nothing seems to matter no more
Where everybody is out to get a little more and more
There you are shining like a star
Every minute of the day
(Showing us the way)
And all that one has got to do
Is call your name and know
That what you were before
You are today will be tomorrow
'Cause you have a soul desire
To share this love with everyone
So when you're down and out and lonely
If you need some loving He's got a lot to show
God, He'll never leave
You just got to believe
Don't you go believing the Devil
He takes pleasure in his lies
Jesus is the giver of life

And He'll just take you as you are
No need to be a hero or a superstar
All your needs are known
He'll make you know
That He is provider
And He'll just take you as you are
Don't you know that He can mend your broken heart
No matter where you've gone
Or what you've done
No, it doesn't matter
('Cause He'll just take you as you are)

You walk around
And show the world that all is alright
Yet not a word is heard about the truth
(You're losing the fight)
Day by day
Taking come what may
Giving in to just 'bout anything and everything and everything
Suddenly things zip from bad to worst
And now you find
You need direction
You need a hand, the loving kind
But He's got a soul desire
To share this love with everyone
So when you gotta get it going
He will hear you calling eager to make you know
That He'll never leave
You just got to believe
To the soul of every believer
He takes pleasure in your life
Jesus is the way, the truth and life

And He'll just take you as you are
No need to be a hero or a superstar
All your needs are known
He'll make you know
That He is provider
And He'll just take you as you are
Don't you know that He can mend your broken heart
No matter where you've gone
Or what you've done
No, it doesn't matter
('Cause He'll just take you as you are)

Quit feeling so unworthy
Don't we never really make up too much
Why I feel so alive
It's only because of a Yahweh's touch
[?]
What we've got to do
It's only because of the faithfulness
Of Him we'll promise to

Take you as you are
(No need to be a hero or a superstar)
All your needs are known
He'll make you know
He is provider
And He'll just take you as you are
Don't you know that He can mend your broken heart
No matter where you've gone
Or what you've done
No, it doesn't matter
('Cause He'll just take you as you are)

He'll just take you as you are
No need to be a hero or a superstar
All your needs are known
He'll make you know
That He is provider
He'll just take you as you are
