Story behind the song
I've tried to write a 'gathering' song to encourage people right at the start of a service to engage and realise what they are here for. I've tried to make it light, upbeat and fun whilst still retaining some good theology.
Lyrics
Verse Come all you nations from all God's creation and those that don't fit anywhere, Those on the wrong track, those that sit at the back, and those who are lost in despair, If you're out in the cold or you're fearless and bold, or frightened and under prepared, If you don't know what's right, you're relaxed or uptight, I'm sure we can find you a chair. Chorus Come as you are, you're invited by the King Come as you are, you don't have to come far, He's provided everything. Verse If you're running late, or you're here by mistake, you're welcome to join us today, Don't leave it 'till later, come meet the creator and sing with us, worship and pray. If your suffering anxiety or misplaced piety, He'll never lead you astray, There's no-one too bad, too good or too sad, trust Jesus, He'll show you the way. Chorus Come as you are, you're invited by the King Come as you are, you don't have to come far, He's provided everything. Bridge Open wide the doors, there is always room for more. He offers solid ground, so let's turn our lives around. Verse His Kingdom has come, the battle He's won, we rejoice in His victory here, With His Spirit's power, 'till the final hour, the world cannot hold us in fear. His love and His grace are seen in this place, revealed in our lives He appears And we'll follow Him home, 'cos we're never alone, He's with us through all of our years. Chorus Come as you are, you're invited by the King Come as you are, you don't have to come far, He's provided everything.
