I Came To Jesus As I Was / Grace

(альбом: I Am Persuaded - 1991)

["I Came To Jesus As I Was"]

I came to Jesus as I was
I came to Jesus as I was
I came to Jesus, I came to Jesus
I came to Jesus as I was
As I was

Sitting at the crossroads
Tired of going nowhere
Beneath a load of worry
And terminal despair
A young man's testimony
As tears began to swell
His life almost destroyed
As he tried to help himself
Then the tears began to fall
And hands began to shake
But there was victory in his voice
As this statement he did make

He said, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
In my mind there was no peace
And I had no self-esteem
So I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)

You say you're tired of disappointment
Tired of doing wrong
You wanna get your life straight
Can't do it on your own
You wanna pull it together
With no help, that's like
Before you see the doctor
You try to cure yourself
If you're tired of losing
Tired of all the confusion
That I came to, I came to

I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
In your life you will be free
And you can sing along with me
And say, I came to Jesus as I was

I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus, I came to Jesus
(As I was)
I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Break it down and play

Bass
(As I was)

I came to Jesus as I was
I came to Jesus as I was
I came to Jesus, I came to Jesus
I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
As I was
As I was

So stop trying to clean yourself up
Before You come to Him
He's gonna wash you anyway
Before He lives within
Come as you are
And He will make you free
Then you can stand up boldly
And sing along with me

And say, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Said, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
I was really broke down
I was really torn down
But I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)

Said, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I was living with no peace
And I had no self-esteem
So I came to Jesus as I was
Hey-hey...

Said, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, my life was filled with sin
And I had no hope within
And I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)

Said, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
Hey, I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)
In my life, there was no hope
I was on Destruction Road
(As I was)
And I came to Jesus as I was
(As I was)

As I was
As I was
As I was
As I was
As I was, as I was

He giveth to me what He giveth to you
He giveth to me what He giveth to you
He giveth to me what He giveth to you
I came to Jesus as I was

["Grace"]

Break it way down...

Grace from Him everyday
Grace for me come what may
Undeserved favor given by God above

There is grace for all sin
(There's grace)
Grace to return from death to life
(Grace to return to life)
If we confess, He is faithful, faithful
And just to forgive and cleanse us

He's provided grace for me everyday
(Grace for me everyday)
Grace from Him come what may
(Grace from Him come what may)
Undeserved favor given by God above

He is constantly giving us grace
To know His love
(For us to know His love)
I don't know why He loves me
Glory to God for I need more and more

Pressed down but not crushed
Confused but not in despair
Struck down but not destroyed
