Christ through faith.
[Bbm] I talked to a cat the other day.
[Abm] He was like man
I really want to come to Christ, but I got to clean [Bbm] my life up first get my sins together
I told him I used to think that way too.
I thought I had to change myself before I come to Christ
[Abm] Christ changed me
Let me tell you [Bbm] my story starts like this
It's [Ebm] 546 in the morning tossing and turning chest [Bbm] burning service in my head keep reoccurring
[Abm] Having visions in my head of a kid crying [Bbm] at the feet of the father for all the wrong things that he did
[Ebm] Now I'm sweating in my sheets.
Can't sleep.
My [Bbm] mind keeps telling me I'm six feet deep
Don't [Abm] remind me even though still alive.
I can't tell [Bbm] the way I'm living my life.
I feel I'm going to hell
[Ebm] God, they telling me I should accept you that you [Bbm] had the leader world world left you reason
I [Abm] can't change like a mystery to me
So I make [Ebm] believe it really is a heaven for what she even though they say you love the world so much
You shed your blood.
[Bbm] I feel I'm too messed up for love
[Abm] They tell me come as I can put a smell like smoke [Bbm] my whole life's for the sink cuz it's all I know
The Bible told me that the job for my sins if I believe in Christ to save me from the end
But I'm [Abm] scared to ask you to save me my heart so evil like [Bbm] that
Oh, that's what a hatred hurting people.
I thought that first I had to clean up my life now
I'm here and I just need to clean to the light.
I'm ready to [Abm] do it
Understand my life [Ebm] is a mess.
Will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong, but [Bbm] I can't change.
Come on try to make it alone
[Abm] I wonder how good to love me with my life so ugly, [Bbm] but you came down and died for me
Will you take me [Ebm] as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong
[Bbm] But I can't change on my own trying to make it alone
[Abm] And I wonder how good you love me when my life so ugly, [Bbm] but you came down and died for [Ebm] me
I'm sick and tired of being the man that my daddy never taught me to be
I'm grown up [Bbm] now, life ain't what I thought it would be
I [Abm] made many mistakes in my past I can't fix
[Bbm] Now I'm staring at this crucifix, tatted on my [Ebm] wrist
Is it true what they're telling me?
Am I just crazy?
[Bbm] Did you bleed on the cross for my sins to save [Abm] me?
But why would you die for me?
My whole [Bbm] life I've been working for Satan while he fed lies to me
And [Ebm] now I'm hearing too much, trying to get a true touch
Of a love that can change me, I'm all screwed [Abm] up
Figure hell is what I deserve But your word [Bbm] says we all fall short
So I guess we all ought [Ebm] to burn Teach me, I want to learn
How [Bbm] you can save a wretch like me before death says it's my [Abm] turn
I think I finally understand No matter [Bbm] my past, you'll still take me as I am
Will you [Ebm] take me as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong But [Bbm] I can't change on my own
Trying to make it alone [Abm] I wonder how could you love me when my life's so ugly?
[Bbm] But you came down and died for me Will [Ebm] you take me as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't [Bbm] change on my own
Trying to make it alone [Eb] I wonder how could you love me when my life's so ugly?
[Bbm] But you came down and died for [Ebm] me Will you take me as I am?
If I had a few last words to give I'd be [Bbm] telling people the reason to live
The reason [Abm] to die United with the king in the sky
[Bbm] This life is passing us by I got no reason to lie
[Ebm] You'll never give the world enough They'll hunger for more
[Bbm] They'll pick up their ways and nothing to the wondrous Lord
[Abm] More security than the man that left you More love than the mom who kept you
They'll always accept you Be everything you're supposed to
Let [Bbm] Christ rule your heart, mind, body and soul
Cause he [Abm] chose you And if the world don't know you
It [Bbm] don't matter, you're God's child And he'll never disown [Ebm] you
Your purpose on earth is far from worthless That's why you [Bbm] glorify like your life's been purchased
[Abm] And it don't matter if the world don't see us We still mean the world to Jesus
Will you [Ebm] take me as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong But [F] I can't change on my own
Tryna make it alone [Abm] I wonder how could you love me when my life's so ugly
But [Bbm] you came down and died for me Will you take me [Ebm] as I am?
I know the way I'm living is wrong But I can't [Bbm] change on my own
