As Is - Jimi Jamison

I’m out of time, I’m out of place

And looking up seems I’ve fallen from grace

Ragged and torn these clothes I wear

I’ve my paid price fallen out of repair

But look beyond my doubt and fear

You’ll find a treasure beneath the tears

Inside this timeless heart

betrays my trembling hand,

won’t someone take

Who I am

As is, Take me as is, you could restore me

Shine down your glory from under the dust

And the rust, won’t you take me?, as is

As childhood fades for dreams to thrive

There must be love to keep the child alive

When love goes wrong or can’t be found

The tug of life forever pulling us down

That’s been my tale, that’s been my plight

I’m walking wounded can’t see the light

I’m searching high and low to find the missing part,

won’t someone take this broken heart

As is, take me as is, you could restore me

Shine down your glory from under the dust

And the rust, won’t you take me?, as is

This weight upon my shoulders, these blisters on my heels,

between the lines, upon of my face, the story can be revealed

but I’ve met the man who casts the giant shadow

now I stand before the kingdom that is his

As is, hooo take me as is, you could restore me

Shine down your glory from under the dust

And the rust, won’t you take me?, as is

Take me as is
