[Verse 1]
[Am]Christ throu[Em]gh faith
[Am]I talked to a cat [Em]the other day
And [Dm]he was like;
"Man I really wanna [Am]come to [Dm]Christ
[Am]But I gott[Dm]a clean my l[Am]ife up f[Em]irst,
[Am]get my sins [Em]together"
[Am]I told em,
I used to think that way too
I thought I [Em]had to change myself
before I could come to Christ
[Dm]But Christ changed me
[Am]Let me tell you my s[Dm]tory,[Em]
it starts like this
[Am]It's 5:46 in

[Verse 2]
the mornin',
tossin' and turnin'
Chest burnin', sermon[Em]s in my
head keep reocurrin'
Havin' vision[Am]s in my head of a kid
Cryin' at the feet of [Em]the Father,
for all the wrong things that he did
Now I'm [Am]sweatin' in my
sheets can't sleep
My mind keeps tellin' [Em]me
I'm six [Am]feet deep
Don't re[Em]mind me,
[Am]even though I'm still alive I can't tell
The way [Em]I'm living my life I
feel I'm going to hell
[Am]God they telling me I should accept you
That you had to leave [Em]the world,
cause the world [Am]left [Em]you
Reason I can't [Am]change,
like a mystery to me
So I make believe there [Em]really
is a heaven for a G
Even though they [Am]say you loved the world so much,
you shed ya blood
[Em]God I feel I'm too
[Am]messed up for love
They [Em]tell me [Am]come as I am
but I smell like smoke
My whole [Em]lifes full of sin cause
it's all I know
[Am]The bible told me that you
[F]died [Am]for my sins
[F]If [Am]I believe in Ch[Em]rist,
it'll save me from the end
But I'm scared to [Am]ask you,
to save me my heart
So evil, I got [Em]thoughts, that's
full of hatred hurtin' people
[Am]I thou[Em]ght at first[Am] I had
to clean up my life
Now I'm hearin' [Em]I just
need to cling to the light
I'm ready to do [Am]it,
but Lord I pray you understand
My life is a mess, [Em]will you take me as I am

[Verse 3]
Will you take me as I [Am]am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can't [Em]change on my own,
trying to make it alone
I [Am]wonder, how could you love
me when my life so ugly
But you [Em]came down and died for me

[Verse 4]
Will you take me as I [Am]am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can[Em]'t change on my own,
trying to make it alone
I [Am]wonder, how could you love
me when my life so ugly
But you [Em]came down and died for me
Will you take me as I am

[Verse 5]
I'm sick and tired of trying to [Am]me the man,
my daddy never taught me to be
I'm [Em]grown up now,
life ain't what I thought it would be
I [Am]made many mistakes in
my past I can't fix
Now I'm [Em]staring at this
crusifix tatted on my wrist
Is [Am]it true what they telling me,
am I just crazy
Did ya [Em]bleed on [Am]the cross,
[Em]for my sins to save me
But [Am]why would ya die for me
My whole life I've been work[Em]ing for Satan,
while He fed lies to me
And now I'm [Am]hearing too much,
trying to get a true touch
Of [Em]a love that can change me,
I'm all screwed up
Figure [Am]Hell is what I deserve
But your word says [Em]we all fall s[Am]hort
[Em]so I guess we all outta bu[Am]rn
Teach me I wanna learn
How you could save [Em]a wretch like me,
before death says it's my turn
[Am]I think I finally understand
No matter my past,
you'll [Em]still [Am]take me as [G]I am
[Am]Will you take me as I

[Verse 6]
am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can't [Em]change on my own,
trying to make it alone
I [Am]wonder, how could you love
me when my life so ugly
But you [Em]came down and died for me

[Verse 7]
Will you take me as I [Am]am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can[Em]'t change on my own,
trying to make it alone
I [Am]wonder, how could you love
me when my life so ugly
But you [Em]came down and died for me
Will you [Am]take me as I am

[Verse 8]
My father had a few last words to give
I be telling people the reason to live
The reason to die,
united with the King in the sky
This life [Em]is passing us by,
I got no reason to lie
You'll never [Am]give the world enough,
they'll hunger for more
They fig[Em]ure there ways are
nuthin to the wonderous lord
More secur[Am]ity than the
man that left you
More [Dm]love than the mom
[Am]s who kept you
He'll always [Em]ac ce[Am]pt you
Be everything your supposed to
Let Christ rule [Em]ya heart, mind,
body and soul cause He chose you
[Am]And if the world don't know you
It don't mat[Em]ter you're Gods child
and he'll never dis[Am]own you
[Em]Ya p[Am]ur pose on earth is
far from worthless
That's [Em]why ya glorif[Am]ied like
ya [Em]life's been purchased
[Am]And it don't matter if the
world don't seen us
[Dm]We still[Am] mean the worl[Em]d to Jesus
Will you take me [Am]as I

[Verse 9]
am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can't [Em]change on my own,
[Am]trying to [Em]make it alone
[Am]I wond[Em]er,
[Am]how could you love me when my life so ugly
[Dm]But you [Em]came down and died for me

[Verse 10]
Will you take me as I [Am]am
I know the way I'm living is wrong
But I can't [Em]change on my own,
trying to make it alone
I [Am]wonder, how could you love
me when my life so ugly
But you [Em]came down and died for me
Will you take me as I [Am]am

[Verse 11]
[Am]Yeah, we're saved by grace
[Em]through [Am]faith
It's not works
Ain't nuthin [Em]you can do,
ain't nuth[Am]in I can do
That could get us this grace
salavation that we got [Em]man
It's [Am]only [Em]Christ
[Am]So if you feel like you gotta
clean yourself up
Before you can come to Him
[Em]Forget [Am]it
Just come to Him
[Em]He'll take you as yo[Am]u are,
and he'll change YOU
From [Em]the inside, out
