Come as you are, that's how I want you.
Come as you are, feel quite at home.
Close to my heart, loved and forgiven;
come as you are, why stand alone?
No need to fear, love sets no limits.
No need to fear, love never ends.
Don't run away, shamed as disheartened.
Rest in my love, trust me again.
I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous.
I came to bring peace, not to condemn.
Each time you fail to live by my promise,
why do you think I'd love you the less?
Come as you are, that's how I love you.
Come as you are, trust me again.
Nothing can change the love that I bear you.
All will be well, just come as you are.

I heard this hymm for the first time today and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for writing it and posting it. Whilst searching the internet I came across a post where somebody has written an alternative set of words for those who like the tune but not the lyrics. How sad.
Gum as chew are...
after reading an email about a miracle of The Holy Eucharist today went to the Holy Mass feeling sad about our sinfulness and how great is the love of our God. I was in tears when we sang this beautiful hymn.
nice song!
i enjoyed it
thx for posting it
<3
Thanks!
I was greatly moved by music and words. This was the first time I have heard the hymn. It was played at the very beginning of a dear friends' funeral, without one word being uttered... Heartbreaking, but truly inspirational
