As I Am (Acoustic) - Hillsong Young & Free

Just as I am, without one plea But that Thy blood was shed for me And that Thou bid'st me come to thee O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt Fightings and fears within without O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind Sight, riches, healing of the mind Yea, all I need, in Thee to find O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, Thou wilt receive Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve Because Thy promise I believe O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Yeah, there was a time I didn't like the love, I liked the climbers, I was no sister then, I was running out of time and one liners, And I was afraid, like you are when you're too young to know the time, and So I watched the way you take your fear and hoard the horizon, You point, you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on, Like you own them just because you bought the time, And you turn to me, you say you hope Im not threatened, Oh, I'm not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. So now were at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk, She is smiling and shes falling in a slow, descending funk, And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybody's trying, yeah. You play the artist, saying, "Is it how she moves, or how she looks?" I say, its loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks, And as long as shes got noise, shes fine. But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the musics ended, Oh, and thats not petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women. You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less, Oh, I liked you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared, And now its amazing what you did to make me stay, But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going, And so Im leaving, you can find out how much better things can get, And if it helps, Id say I feel a little worse than I did when we met, So when you find someone else, you can try again, it might work next time, You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say low, "If I could believe that stuff, Id say that woman has a halo," And I look out and say, "Yeah, shes really blond," And then I go outside to join the others, I am the others, Oh, and that's not easy, I don't know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me, I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.

As I reflect I find perspective There in the best and worst days of this life You were always on my side You're in the pain You're in the promise And on the days the furnace finds my faith You're the fourth within the flames I don't need to know what the future says 'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this My God isn't finished yet If He did it before He can do it again So I'll trust Him with what comes next For the God I know is known for faithfulness My hindsight says I can trust Him with what's next For the God I know Is known for faithfulness There's more ahead Than what's behind me 'Cause through the highs and lows and in between God You go ahead of me Where you call me I will follow If the water folds beneath my feet Then You'll pull me from the deep I don't need to know what the future says 'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this My God isn't finished yet If He did it before He can do it again So I'll trust Him with what comes next For the God I know is known for faithfulness My hindsight says I can trust Him with what's next For the God I know Is known for faithfulness I don't need to know what the future says 'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this My God isn't finished yet If He did it before He can do it again So I'll trust Him with what comes next 'Cause my hindsight says I can count on this My God isn't finished yet If He did it before He can do it again So I'll trust Him with what comes next For the God I know is known for faithfulness My hindsight says I can trust Him with what's next For the God I know Is known for faithfulness
