Crowder - Come As You Are Lyrics

Crowder Lyrics

"Come As You Are"

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
Oh 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
Oh 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
Oh 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
Come as you are

"Come as You Are" is the second single from Crowder's debut solo album. The single was released on the 26th of August 2014, and peaked at number three on US Christian Chart.

David Crowder stated to The Christian Post, "What I love about 'Come As You Are' is that it makes room for all of us. It feels like it throws the doors wide open. When you talk about invitations, an invite into something bigger and grander than what you know and experience, 'Come As You Are' feels like one that throws the door really wide. I think it's an anchor and hinge for the whole new record 'Neon Steeple.'"

There are several live versions of this track, e.g. one was included on the 2014 Passion album "Take It All", another on Crowder's own "Neon Porch Extravaganza" EP.
