Take Me as I Am Lyrics

Oh, for a heart that does not ache
For a backbone that won't break
For some steady feet or sturdy ground
A road that isn't gonna let me turn around
And run for a thousand tongues to singTo wear wisdom like Solomon's robe
For the patience and perspective of a man like Job
Just to soar on wings of eagles
For no other reason than the bird's eye viewFor a flight or two and the list gets longer
Who I wish I was and was no longerI never could be good enough to measure up
But You want to take me as I come
You're the only one that can
Take me as I amOh, to feel hope in hopeless times
Never mind the silver lining 'cause the clouds are fine
To breathe prayers that move the heavens
Or save hundreds from the flamesTo know my place, to know my name
But the gap grows wider
Between who I am and all I aspire to beI never could be good enough to measure up
But You want to take me as I come

You're the only one that can
Take me as I amAt the end of myself, at the end of the day
I can find little else but the courage to say
I need You, that's all
I need You
