Here I am, God,
in all my brokenness
and all my sinfulness.
Will you accept me
just as I am?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome, Love.
Enter heaven’s gates
and receive my embrace.
I love you
just the way you are;
you don’t need
to change for me.
I ask that you change
for your own good,
that you may love yourself.
You are precious to me
as flawed as you may be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But what if I can’t change?
What if I’ll never be good enough?
What if I’ll never measure up
to your perfect standard?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Child, I love you
just the way you are.
Take it one step at a step,
day by day.
Because for the days
you are weak,
I will give you strength
if you simply ask.
When you fall,
I will lift you up;
just lean on me.
When you worry,
cast your cares on me,
and I will lighten your load.
When you are fearful,
pray to me and
I will calm your soul.
You cannot change on your own,
but I can help
if you ask for it.
I would never force you to change.
But I want you to grow,
to become more like me,
and you can do it.
You can do anything
through my support.
