As You Are

In a world
When nothing seems to matter no more
When everybody is out
To get a little more and more
There you are
Shining like a star
Every minute of the day
(Showing us the way)
And all that one has got to do
Is call your name and know
That what you were before
You are today will be tomorrow
Coz you have a soul desire
(To) Share this love with everyone
So when you're down and out and lonely
If you need some lovin'
He's got a lot to show
No he'll never leave
You just got to believe
Don't you go believin' the devil
He takes pleasure in his lies
Jesus is the giver of life
And He'll just take you as you are
No need to be a hero or a superstar
All your needs are known
He'll make you know (it)
That He is provider
And He'll just take you as you are
Don't you know that He can mend your broken heart
No matter where where you've gone
Or what you've done
No, it doesn't matter
('Coz He'll just take you as you are)
You walk around
You show the world that all is alright
Yet not a word is heard about the truth (You're losing the fight)
Day by day
Taking come what may
Give it in to just 'bout anything and everything and everything
Suddenly things zip from bad to worst
And now you find
You need direction
You need a hand, the loving kind
(But) He's got a soul desire
(To) Share this love with everyone
So when you gotta get it goin'
He will hear you calling
Eager to make you know
That He'll never leave
You just got to believe
To the soul of every believer
He takes pleasure in your life
Jesus is the way, the truth and life-a
