"Just as I Am" by Andrew Peterson
From "Love & Thunder"

intro:  G C D G C D

                   G
What's that on the ground?
                       D
It's what's left of my heart
               C                 Em
Somebody named Jesus broke it to pieces
    D           C
And planted the shards
                      G
And they're coming up green,
                      C
And they're coming in bloom
             G    G/B                C         D/F#
I can hardly believe this is all coming true


(chorus)
G         D      G         C
Just as I am and just as I was
Em        G          C
Just as I will be He loves me, He does
   G             D      
He showed me the day that
   G            C
He shed His own blood
   Em        G     C                     D
He loves me, oh He loves me, He does


D         G                         D
All of my life I've held on to this fear
                   C                 Em
These thistles and vines ensnare and entwine
     D       C
What flowers appeared
                        G                 C
It's the fear that I'll fall one too many times
                       G G/B                  C
It's the fear that His love is no better than mine
        D/F#
(but He tells me that)


(chorus)
G         D      G         C
Just as I am and just as I was
Em        G          C
Just as I will be He loves me, He does
   G             D      
He showed me the day that
   G            C
He shed His own blood
   Em        G     C
He loves me, oh He loves me, He does
   Em        G     C             D/F#         
He loves me, oh, He loves me, He does

D                     G                        D
Well it's time now to harvest what little that grew
                   C                      Em
This man they call Jesus, who planted the seeds
    D            C
Has come for the fruit
                       G                C
And the best that I've got isn't nearly enough
                  G  G/B              C
He's glad for the crop, but it's me that He loves
