Poem: Come as you are (unknown)

Come as you are. That's how I want you.
Come as you are. Feel quite at home.
Close to my heart, loved and forgiven.
Come as you are - why stand alone?

No need to fear, Love sets no limits.
No need to fear, Love never ends.
Don't run away shamed and disheartened.
Rest in my love. Trust me again.

I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous.
I came to bring peace, not to condemn.
Each time you fail to live by my promise -
why should you think I'd love you less.

Come as you are. That's how I love you.
Come as you are. Trust me again.
Nothing can change the Love that I bear you.
All will be well. Just come as you are.
