F#m4,7

 

 

 

take me as I am

I lay down all I thought I should be

and I give up my walls of pride,

(A2) - E

hoping love will find me

take me as I am

never wanted to need Your love,

so alone and afraid to fall,

(A2) - E

praying love will find me

E - A2 G#m6 - F#m4,7

And can it be- that You love me this way?

E - A2

You never ask me to be more than I could be

G#m6 - F#m4,7 C#m F#m4,7 - A2

No more trying to be someone, and can it be

C#m F#m4,7 - A2

yeah, and can it be

Take me as I am

Never good enough to be loved,

so I lived with my pain inside,

(A2) - E

hoping love will find me

Take me as I am

So tired of trying to make it alone,

so I'm taking this step of faith,

(A2) E

trusting You will find me

F#m4,7

In the mirror all I saw

was that I never measured up

I couldn't like myself, so

how could I understand Your love?

F#m4,7

I thought love was something bought-

by being someone I was not

how could I know all You'd

ask is that I let You love me?

(end on A2, precussion, and fade)
