The Way I Am

The Way I AM

O Jesus; I praise your name. I know that you are the highest
of the high. I know that there is no one greater than you, so
today Jesus I come to you.


I know that I am not worthy for you to look at me, but I
know that you love all your children. Please Jesus, don't 
turn your face away from me. I know I have done a lot
of things that were not good in your eyes, but today I
want to leave all that behind.

Jesus - I ask you please accept me the way I am. I am not 
much to look at, or have too much to give. I can only offer 
you - my love, my heart and my life. Please Jesus don't deny
me your love,

Let me come to you , just the way I am, so you can clean me 
and make me new again. Come Jesus and walk with me. Show
me the path that I must follow, so I can be worthy , worthy of your
love....
