Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enter in his presence, do not be afraid
God will give you grace
I know you've been disappointed,
You've been let down before
You thought of giving up, hold on hold on
(Hold on there's still a chance)
I know someone who cares,
And he's waiting just for you
He understands how you feel
Just come as you are

You know I've been disappointed
I've been let down before
I thought of giving up
(Hold on there's still a chance)
I know someone that cares
And He's waiting just for me
‘Coz he understands how I feel
I come as I am, I come as I am
Enter in your presence, I am not afraid
And you will give me grace. Come
() – As I am/ As you are
God will give, God will give
God will give you grace

Many a times we are reluctant to come to Christ because we want to fix ourselves first but Christ is saying come as you are and I will fix you, you don't need to do it by yourself, I will give you grace. If you are in that situation wait no longer, come, Christ is waiting for you with open arms
