come as you are
Joel Vaughn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hope is a light in the dark
'cause all you see is your mistakes
But He sees you in a different way
There's never been a day, that you've gone too far
When everything around you, could fall apart
No, you don't have to be stronger than you are
You can come just as you are
You can come
I know, it's hard not to fake it
But perfection, is a myth in the distance
It's not about the things you do
You're already the perfect you
There's never been a day, that you've gone too far
When everything around you, could fall apart
No, you don't have to be stronger than you are
He want's your heart
You can come, just as you are
You can come, just as you are
You can come
When you can see the road ahead
And nothing else makes perfect sense
It doesn't matter what you did
You can come, just as you are
There's never been a day, that you've gone too far
No, you don't have to be stronger than you are
He want's your heart
You can come, just as you are
There's never been a day, that you've gone too far
When everything around you, could fall apart
No, you don't have to be stronger than you are
He want's your heart
You can come, just as you are
You can come, just as you are
You can come, just as you are
In Joel Vaughn's song "Come As You Are," he sings about the importance of accepting ourselves just the way we are and not trying to pretend to be something we're not. The lyrics highlight how we all have those days when we feel like we're so far from where we should be and that hope is the only light we see. It's in those dark moments where we tend to focus on our mistakes, but the song encourages us to see ourselves differently.
Vaughn's lyrics tell us that while we may think God judges us for our mistakes, that couldn't be further from the truth. He wants us to come just as we are, with all our imperfections and flaws. The song suggests that we don't need to be perfect, and we don't have to pretend to be stronger than we are. All God wants from us is our hearts.
The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-acceptance and the idea that we don't have to be perfect to be loved. We can come to God exactly as we are, and he will always be there to accept and love us.
