Come As You Are

I called you the other day
to talk with you awhile
to tell you how I miss
your eyes your laugh your smile
You seemed so busy that day
too busy to talk with me
too busy to listen to me
too busy to come to me

Come as you are
I'll take you as you are
Come as you are
I love you as you are
Do not be afraid
I love you as you are
I call out your name
Just come as you are

I had a friend in need
of your great love and care
I wanted you to help
I needed you right there
You didn't feel prepared
you didn't feel real strong
I said that doesn't matter
but said "No, You're wrong"

You'll never offer anything
if you don't give the little you have
You'll never love anyone
if you don't love the little you can
The tree will never begin to grow
if you don't plan the seed of God
I want you as you are
every thought and word and deed
