Story Behind The Song
We were tasked by our producer to come up with a modern "Praise And Worship" style song to cross over and attract new listeners from outside the progressive rock genre we normally play. This song is that result - still sweet.
Song Description
Look to the world and see depression. Look to the Savior and see exultation. God takes us exactly as we are.

Lyrics
The world has us thinking we're standing alone on the edge of a cliff with no bridge to get home
The clothes on our back, all tattered and torn and our souls, like our shoes, are so worn
This side of Heaven can sure seem like hell when the doors are all barred, every window as well
We feel we're forgotten, that nobody cares our spirit weighed down with despairs
Tho' each of us feels so misguided and lost
All our debts have been paid by the blood on the cross
We Just
Come As We Are
Bring Every Scar
And Our Broken Hearts To Him
And In Its Place
Receive All The Grace
He Is Offering Us All
When We Come As We Are
Born with commandments, written in stone exhausted and weary clear down to the bone
Every king every queen, we're just street urchins all on our own we all stumble and fall
In spite of the curse from original sin
We're redeemed by His blood,
and are destined to win
We Just
Come As We Are
Bring Every Scar
And Our Broken Hearts To Him
And In Its Place
Receive All The Grace
He Is Offering Us All
When We Come As We Are
The sadness in our eyes, the madness of their lies
That this is how we feel comes as no surprise
So many dangers to discern,
one simple truth we all should learn
The ending to our story is one of Love and Glory
We Just
Come As We Are
Bring Every Scar
And Our Broken Hearts To Him
And In Its Place
Receive All The Grace
He Is Offering Us All
When We Come As We Are
