Come as you are, that’s how I want you

Come as you are, feel quite at home

Come 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, ashamed and 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.

My Nanna loved that Hymn, I’m not even sure who it is written by. The tune and words remain in my mind, and have for as long as I can remember. It reminds my of my Nan, she was an awesome woman, a life so honestly and beautifully following the Lord.

So, I guess this Hymn, or at least the words, remind us to come home. Remind us that we are loved, regardless. How many times will we be forgiven? I feel a little lost at this point in my life. I feel a little bit small, and weak. But, the foundation is solid. There is a rock that will never let me sink further than I can handle.

Shalom
