As you are

As you are

You don’t have to be perfect

To be accepted by the Lord

Dear God in heaven is

The perfection we adore

In His perfect love He gave

His brightest pearl of greatest price

To be our perfect sacrifice

The purest Lamb in His dear eyes

Was given to pay our price

Dear Jesus took upon His heart

Our painful lives and gave His blood

That we might be saved this cost

He has done His part and now

As the price is already paid

There is little that He asks in return

But that we understand His sacrifice

And not let it have been done in vain

How precious and beautiful

His love is for so unworthy a mob

Yes! Dear Jesus has offered up

His life for ours instead

And now all we need do

Is accept His gracious gift

Already He is waiting

To collect our lives in return

To take us home to heaven

To keep us by His side

To live there eternally

As the jewels in His dear crown!

What is there to think about?

What contemplation now required?

All is already done!

All the hard work as desired

Was completed all those years ago

Over two thousand in fact!

Now the time is come!

Now the time is here!

Now is the due date!

Now is the time to state!

Now to accept the price!

And say “Yes! I accept Jesus’ sacrifice!”
