Just as You Are

Jesus loves you - just as you are,
Even though you have wandered far;
In spite of all the guilt and sin
And your refusal to let Him in -
He loves you - just as you are!

So much rebelliousness and pride,
And bitterness locked deep inside,
From which you will not part;
Though you have closed your hardened heart,
He loves you - just as you are!

Because He sees your deepest need,
And knows from sin you can be freed,
Through His death upon the Tree,
He offers life abundantly,
He loves you- just as you are!

You do not have to change to be
Worthy of His love so free,
For He accepts each sin-sick soul
That will allow Him to make them whole,
For He loves you - just as you are!

When you accept Him as your Lord
And feed your soul upon His Word,
His Spirit will transform your life
And cleanse you from all sin and strife,
Because He loves you - just as you are!
