Story behind the song
This song was recorded by Al Denson on his very first album (no longer available). It was thrilling to me to have a major artist record a song I'd cowritten.
Lyrics
"AS YOU ARE" by Jeff Leslie 1986
Music by Bob Farrell
Jesus, lover of my soul
Run Your fingers through my heart
Sift my life like sands of time
Till You find the purest part
Bringing out the best in me
Until what You are is all they see
This is all I want to be
As You are
As You are -- Jesus, be alive in me
As You are -- Let Your Spirit rise in me
As You are -- Jesus, let me be
As You are
Jesus, lover of my soul
I'm the clay within your hands
Lasting through the test of fire
Lord, Your will is my command
Knowing You my heart will sing
In the presence of the Holy King
This is why I want to be as You are
As You are -- Jesus, be alive in me
As You are -- Let Your Spirit rise in me
As You are -- Jesus, let me be
As You are
As You are -- Sacrificing all I am
As You are -- Full of love for every man
As You are -- Jesus, as You are
