Verse 1
Since when did church turn into polished shoes
Pressed-up smiles and matching blues
Why you gotta clean up just to come inside
Like grace got a dress code, truth got a vibe
I don’t remember Jesus checking tags
Or turning folks away ‘cause they looked too cracked
He never said, “Fix it, then come near”
He said, “Bring it all here”
⸻
Pre-Chorus
If you’re breathing, you belong
If you’re standing, you’re not too far gone
⸻
Chorus
Come as you are
Yeah, come as you are
Not when you’re perfect
Not when you’re sure
Come as you are
With your scars and your past
Let God do the healing
You just show up fast
⸻
Verse 2
Somebody limps in smelling like smoke
Like life hit hard and broke what broke
Sat in the wrong seat, got side-eyed twice
By folks who never asked about the fight
They don’t know the storm you crawled out of
Just to make it through the door for love
But heaven saw every step you took
And called it faith, not a look
⸻
Chorus
Come as you are
Yeah, come as you are
Not when you’re fixed
Not when you’re far
Come as you are
With the weight you bear
Grace ain’t scared of your mess
It’s already there
⸻
Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung – with weight)
Come when you’re broke
Come when you’re bleeding
Come when you’re hungry
Come when you’re grieving
Come when your heart still smells like the fight
Come when you barely survived last night
Jesus cleans you
Not the clothes
Not the building
Not the rows
If you’re empty, He’ll fill the space
If you’re lost, He’ll lead the way
⸻
Chorus (Lift)
Come as you are
Yeah, come as you are
Grace don’t wait till you’re strong
It meets you where you are
Come as you are
Drop the shame, drop the fear
God ain’t mad you showed up
He’s glad you’re here
⸻
Verse 3
Your past don’t get the final say
Rumors fade, but truth stays
They can talk, let ‘em talk
You just walk the walk
Integrity over noise
Obedience over voice
What’s between you and God
Ain’t for the crowd at all
⸻
Final Chorus
Come as you are
For real, come as you are
Not tomorrow
Not once you’re sure
Come as you are
Sit down, breathe in grace
Let love do the fixing
You just show your face
⸻
Outro
It ain’t the healthy who need a doctor
It’s the sick, the tired, the lost ones
So walk in
Sit down
Breathe
Come as you are.
