Just As I Am

You said, "Come just as you are

Your skin and bones smell like a bar"

You say You want me there this way

Okay, well, I'm on my way

Grab this bottle just in case

I'm just too ashamed to pray

Well, I'm bringin' this problem to You now

Yeah, the prodigal son returns

The only way that I know how

The only way that I know how

Gonna drive my steel horse down to the altar

Put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord, I ain't got much to offer

And I ain't tryna die this way

So may this bottle be the body

And this bourbon be the blood

If I pour it out, will You take my offering?

Give me the strength to never pick it up

Yeah, here I stand, just as I am

You know most folks don't understand

That I'm talkin' 'bout pourin' out my best friend

Damn, and it sounds so sad, but that's how it is

And that's why it's gotta end

Lord, I've tried it by myself

Forget my pride, I need Your help

Gonna drive my steel horse down to the altar

Put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord, I ain't got much to offer

But I ain't tryna die this way

So may this bottle be the body

And this bourbon be the blood

If I pour it out, will You take my offering?

Give me the strength to never pick it up

Yeah, here I stand, just as I am

Ooh, ooh

So fill that river full of tears and whiskey

Blood I've spilled and the wars I've raged

A thousand love lost, heart broken memories

The scars on the heart and the skin I'm wearin'

Raise me up a brand new man

So I can face this world just as I am

You said, "Come just as you are

Skin and bones and broken heart"

You kept Your word, and here I stand

I'm born again

Just as I am
