Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find me here with a heart that's pure
And I am raised up in the love You pour on me
The moment I believe
I lay me down at Your feet my Saviour
Find me here with a life like Yours
I am raised up in power that sets me free
That You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers shame
You come in Your power and I bow down
And grace covers shame
You come like a flood and I'm lost in this, Hallelujah!
You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers all of me, all of me
I lay me down at Your feet my master
Find me here with the grace to know
That I am raised up in the perfect love of God
The moment I believe, the moment I believe
That You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers shame
You come in Your power and I bow down
And grace covers shame
You come like a flood and I'm lost in this, Hallelujah!
You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers me
I am laid broken Lord I am open, breathe in me
And this by design is Your life divine, living in me
You come as You are and I come as I am
You come in Your power and I bow down
You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers shame
You come in Your power and I bow down
And grace covers shame
You come like a flood and I'm lost in this, Hallelujah!
You come as You are and I come as I am
You come like a flood and I'm lost in this, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
But You come as You are and I come as I am
And grace covers all of me, all of me, all of me
