Come As You Are
Shane & Shane's 'Come As You Are' is a gentle invitation for the weary, broken, and ashamed to find rest and healing in God's presence. The song emphasizes that no sorrow is beyond heaven's cure, urging listeners to lay down their burdens and shame and come to God just as they are. It speaks of hope for the hopeless, grace for those who have strayed, and rest for the weary, echoing the biblical call to approach God with humility and trust. The repeated refrain 'Come as you are' reinforces the message of unconditional acceptance and mercy.
Come out of sadness from wherever you've been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, oh sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
There's hope for the hopeless
And all those who've strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There's rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are!
Come as you are!
Fall in His arms!
Come as you are
There's joy for the morning, oh sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you're not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are!...
