Verse 1
You take me just the way I am
Your arms are wide, Your love is pure
No judgment in Your gentle hands
You see my soul and still endure
My mind is weary, full of doubt
A sickness only You can heal
But still, You never cast me out
You hold me close, so real, so real
Chorus
You take me as I am
Even when I don’t understand
Your mercy writes a better plan
Oh Lord, I stand — 'cause You still stand
Through every fall, through every scar
You saw my heart from where You are
And loved me deeper than I knew
Oh Jesus, You are good and true
Verse 2
As I get older, I can see
I'm certain less, but I believe
The truths I hold are tried and true
Like grace, like peace I found in You
My family — what a gift they’ve been
Outside salvation, my greatest win
I wish I’d seen it every day
Instead of letting time slip away
Chorus
You take me as I am
Even when I don’t understand
Your mercy writes a better plan
Oh Lord, I stand — 'cause You still stand
Through every fall, through every scar
You saw my heart from where You are
And loved me deeper than I knew
Oh Jesus, You are good and true
Bridge
Everybody needs encouragement
A word to lift, a hand that's sent
Man can't live on bread alone
He needs a little love to feel known
I spent too much time lost in fear
Chasing things that disappeared
But You, oh Lord, You stayed the same
Calling softly, whispering my name
Chorus
You take me as I am
Even when I don’t understand
Your mercy writes a better plan
Oh Lord, I stand — 'cause You still stand
Through every fall, through every scar
You saw my heart from where You are
And loved me deeper than I knew
Oh Jesus, You are good and true
Outro (Spoken or Sung Softly)
So now I walk, not always fast
But looking forward, not the past
And of the few things I still know
Your love is one — and it still grows
You take me… just the way I am.
