lecrae-take me as i am w/lyrics

Talking]
Christ through faith
I talked to a cat 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 em, 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

[Verse One]
It's 5:46 in the mornin', tossin' and turnin'
Chest burnin', sermons in my head keep reocurrin'
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 living my life I feel I'm going to hell
God they telling 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 lifes 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

[Chorus]
Will you take me as I am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can't change on my own, trying 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 living is wrong
But I can't change on my own, trying 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

[Verse Two]
I'm sick and tired of trying 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 staring at this crusifix tatted on my wrist
Is it true what they telling 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 working for Satan, while He fed lies to me
And now I'm hearing too much, trying 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

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
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 passing 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 nuthin to the wonderous lord
More security than the man that left you
More love than the moms who kept you
He'll always accept you
Be everything your 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 Gods 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 seen us
We still mean the world to Jesus

[Chorus]

[Talking]
Yeah, we're saved by grace through faith
It's not works
Ain't nuthin you can do, ain't nuthin I can do
That could get us this grace salavation 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

ok. respect. jus saying thow, if an organisation or a person or a deity or a book takes control of your life, u no longer think nd act 4 ur self but u think nd act acording to this book. thats what i call AUTOPILOT MODE.

[ilybarbiegirl]

@nellisonking um no... i do NOT do what others tell me or whats "christian" or "right". i do what i belive is right. im not into religion. ppl that play holy can go do wl.e they want with themselves. im not about religion. im about relationship.

[nellisonking]

@ilybarbiegirl u r on autopilot mode... u complitly ignored what I said. u didnt even think about it for a moment. but thats understandable cause ur ability to think is been damaged. u dont understand what's all this jesus's about. when u start reading the bible with critical thinking and not leting them feelings get in the way, u'll see the truth..

[ilybarbiegirl]

@nellisonking excuse me? no. U dont understand. im done with this. ur too stubborn to even understand. k g do what u want nd live how u want. c where that gets u. i was out there. but theres nothing out there. im done

[nellisonking]

@ilybarbiegirl whould u love me nd marie me? nd if u do marie me, would ur love be genuine? or u would marie me just to avoid going to this owfull prison to be tortured?

whell thats basicaly jesus "love"...

[ilybarbiegirl]

@nellisonking thats not it... ur misunderstanding it... his love is amazing.. and once u get toknow him it becomes clear... and u wont force urself. u will honestly love him..

[chaser7562]

[moegotgrillzd00d]

I heard how Jesus changed other people's lives and I wanted it too.I was a lying stealing cheating arrogant sexually immoral drug-addicted jerk.I knew I was bad and wanted to be good.I asked Jesus to take control of my life;I had made a mess of it.He came and purified my thought-life and heart.I believe the Son of God died for my sins and rose again. Understanding His love I trust Him and give Him control of my life. He transformed me into a new person.Never knew joy like this was possible.

[beckstargirl]

Jesus christ died for our sins, he loves us, serving God, we have a golden relationship with God, we are nothing compared to God. by not serving God, you are letting devil take control of your life whether you believe it or not. christianity is a way of life not just a religion.

[robert200690]

Is funny how atheists come here on a christian Rap song just to debate , you are not obligated to believe in christ but one thing for sure , either u want it or not one day you will have to get on ur knees to him and trust me that will b no good

peace

[robert200690]

@nellisonking thats why they call it religion , and thats why religion created so many wars ... but us that have christ have same thing we call Relathionship :)

[vkbluerose]

[tomstheskateboarder]
