As Is

I'm out of time - i'm out of place

And looking up - it seems i've fallen from grace

Ragged and torn - these clothes i wear

I've paid my price - fallen out of repair

But look beyond - my doubt and fear

You'll find a treasure beneath the tears

Inside this timeless heart

Betrays my trembling hand

Won't someone take - who i am

As is - take me as is

You could restore me - shine down your glory

From under the dust and the rust

Won't you take me? - as is

As childhood fades - for dreams to thrive

There must be love - to keep the child alive

When love goes wrong - or can't be found

The tug of life forever pulling us down

That's been my tale - that's been my plight

I'm walking wounded - can't see the light

I'm searching high and low - to find the missing part

Won't someone take this broken heart - as is

As is - take me as is

You could restore me - shine down your glory

From under the dust and the rust

Won't you take me? - as is

The weight upon my shoulders

These blisters on my heels

Between the lines upon my face

The story can be revealed

But i've met the man who casts the giant shadow

Now i stand before the kingdom that is his - as is

As is - take me as is

You could restore me - shine down your glory

From under the dust and the rust

Won't you take me? - as is
