about

words & Music by Lewis McVay © 2024 McVay Publishing

I went back in time in my heart
to the “Old school” early 70’s Jesus Music Era … my era in style,
to write ✍️ 🎸🎤 this one …

as if it was my last song of the set 🎸🎤
an altar call song 🙏🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿
calling in the lost sheep 🐑 🐑 🐏 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑
at a Saturday Night Live CCCM concert in 1974 …

And Jesus is still calling to this day 2024 ….
“Come As You Are” 🎚️

lyrics

Come as you are
By Lewis McVay

You’ve been sowin’ seeds like the devil
And now that crops comin’ in
You’ve been gone, so Long,
and done so much wrong
You think you’ve lost your last friend…

But I’ve got good news for ya’
There’s someone still searching for you ,
And in spite of it all,
Or how hard you fall …
God still calls you friend.

Come as you are,
Hear Jesus Call ..
Your sin and your shame ..
Just call on his name

He paid for it all …

Come as you are,
Hear Jesus call,
My prodigal one
My daughter, my son
come as you are …

When you were so much younger,
This world seemed shiny and new
But the older you grew
The more that you knew ..

Somethings not workin’ quite right!??

So you try to fill the empty…
With pride, with drink, with gold,
But the deeper you sink,
The more that you think?

Maybe it’s time to go home?

Come as you are
Hear Jesus call
Your sin and your shame
Just call on his name he paid for it all ..

Come, as you are,
hear Jesus Call …
My prodigal one
My daughter, my son come as you are ..

Solo 🎸…

-Repeat chorus-
