As I Am Lyrics

I'm

Masked and suffocating

I am

Trapped inside the hating

I am

Looking for salvation

And I'm

So close

Look and see

I am

Troubled and frustrated

I'm caged

By self-righteous indoctrination

Shamed

By my life

My skin

They call sin

But

It's everything that I am

I am an abomination according to your scripture

Hated by an all loving God

Acceptance is not in your picture

You picket outside joyful gatherings

Call us names claiming

Self-righteous right mutterings

Bigoted blighted sputtering

With rage you call grace

Inner pain you call faith

Quoting words that have lost all their meaning

I'll translate the prose to which you are clinging

And stick to the love that still wants us breathing

The God I saw when I lost the will to fight

The God that can pull darkness into light

The God that can make The deaf to hear

They Dwells within the love we hold dear

The God that told me I am loved

The god that does not dwell In heaven above

The God that is personal, private, and Pristine

The God that hold no conditions over me

As I am

Perfectly redeemed

I'm

Loved as I'm seen

I am broken but

Held together in God's hands

As I am

As I am

I am

A child not a slave

I am

Crowned

I am remade

Holy love

Loved Without restraint

So they say I'm depraved

But I am held in God's name

I am recommending your surrender

To this peace, where love is your mender

The hate you feel is the true pretender

Cause if God is love, then hate is a cold December

It is Lonely under a cross that is still bleeding

In a church where love is fleeting

With a pulpit stained with scheming

Greed leaking from the ceiling

Where Satan is real and constantly stealing

Hearts away from a God uncaring

Constantly inconsistent, pointing and glaring

Judging you for sins already paid for

Is it freeing to keep your bruised knees glued to the floor

Do you seek peace and love unending

Do you seek a home where you can stop pretending

Stop raging against those god called blameless

Love with a passion pure and shameless

In Love you find God

Cause God is Love

Is kind

Is pure

And faultless

God is love

Is good

Is mighty

Is endless

God is love

Is truth

Is peace

Is timeless

God is live

Is hope

Is home

Is hateless

Is love
