A song of my faith
come as you are
perfect love
Story behind the song
A story of Jesus from the Bible
Lyrics
The Jesus I know
2014
By Donnie Priest
Stone in hand they stood around her
This man appeared, she didn't know
From the middle of the angry crowd
He looked right into their soul
He said, what gives you the right to judge?
Who among you has no sin?
How can you hold onto a grudge?
Drop those stones from your hand
(chorus)
Jesus longs for us to choose
Why do you hesitate?
Don't turn your back on perfect love
Theres no reason to be afraid
All you have to do is believe
The price was paid long ago
Just come as you are
Thats the Jesus I know
The people followed Jesus to the mount
He tried to teach them, how to live
Love your neighbor as yourself
Give them what you have to give
He said, I am the way and the light
All the world, I come to save
Heaven is such a beautiful sight
I've come to show you the way
(chorus)
Jesus longs for us to choose
Why do you hesitate?
Don't turn your back on perfect love
Theres no reason to be afraid
All you have to do is believe
The price was paid long ago
Just come as you are
Thats the Jesus I know
The people gathered all around him
They all came, wanting to see
The Savor beaten and dying
Hanging from the blood stained tree
He said, forgive them, they know not what they do
With his last dying breath
In three days he arose from the tomb
For us all, he defeated death
(chorus)
Jesus is longs for us to choose
Why do you hesitate?
Don't turn your back on perfect love
Theres no reason to be afraid
All you have to do is believe
The price was paid long ago
Just come as you are
Thats the Jesus I know
The price was paid lone ago
Thats the Jesus I know
