Come as you are by oDDBall

A common hymn at my Catholic Church br Sr Deidre Brown, a Loretto sister.
==
I went to a funeral today of an elderly, godly man. His sister is a Palatine and led me to adopt Vincent Palatino as my patron when I became Catholic. I love the hymn. It speaks to me.
==
The fact I cannot sing does not mean I will not
==
Verse 1

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?

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
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 do you think, I’d love you the less?

Verse 4
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.
