lyrics

HE TOOK ME AS I WAS

Darkness and confusion
Clouded my mind
No peace, no satisfaction
Could I find
Until He came and
Broke through my despair
Now I have joy and
Nothing can compare

He took me as I was, and made me what I am
He looked past all my fault
He had mercy on this man
Then He lifted me up
With the outstretch of His hands
He took me as I was, and made me what I am

Now if you're hurt and lonely
I know someone
Who can heal all the pain
Undo what's done
He can carve out paths
Through mountains high
Give you hope and
A future that is bright

He took me as I was, and made me what I am
He looked past all my fault
He had mercy on this man
Then He lifted me up
With the outstretch of His hands
He took me as I was, and made me what I am

Help is near, don't you give up now
Jesus is here, His hands are reaching out
