Come As You Are

Though to many it may seem strange like with the prodigal son
Never really wanting to change until all other options are done
There He still waits for you standing with His Arms opened wide
His Love always being true as the Lord had never left your side

There's no time like the present to return to your Fathers Home
Our Lord never had any resentment those days that you'd roam
As with every step you take and each breath taken on His Earth
A loving God who'd never forsake in so drawing you before birth

If it seems hard to believe, faith just doesn't seem to be around
Don't let satan deceive for he doesn't want you to ever be found
But go as you are calling out Jesus' Name, not being shy about it
That alone puts satan to shame but until death he'll never quit

But the Lord will never quit on you His love for you far too great 
In all the things that you do, why would you make the Lord wait
He doesn't expect perfection knowing you far better than you do
With even a little reflection He'll start focusing you on what's true

Luke 5:32 
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
