Charlie Hall - Hookers and Robbers lyrics

Crack kids, track kids, hookers and robbers The naked and hungry, mothers and fathers Abuses, excuses, guns in your hands And I even welcome the arrogant man I welcome you all to the biggest of feasts A night of no shame, to pause and to breathe This is a night of love's renovation A feast I am sure that could change a whole nation Me, I'm not such an excellent host I am one who forgives but needs it the most I found the liar, the k**er of hearts And I ran away with a new way to start I journeyed a road where a bright man appeared He looked into me, and my eyes filled with tears My breath fast and short and my heart burning deep He gave me new eyes and a new way to see Come as you are, as you are, as you are Come as you are, as you are, as you are I still defiled His great love ways I felt such a famine when I ran away I missed the presence, the voice like a song I was nasty and dirty, I knew I was wrong But he ran to me like a dream, like a Father This love is not earthly, this love must be other He carried me home and threw me a party A party so loud, like the greatest love story Oh, my dear friends, applaud now please I've invited you here to announce you are free He takes you chains, busting you out of prison Just open your heart, let your heart come and listen Come as you are, as you are, as you are Come as you are, as you are, as you are Who could accept all your pounding and screaming Your raging, your freaking, cussing, and beating All while He holds you and always forgiving This is the story of love and living Wipe off your tears and laugh just a little Come, break this bread, celebrate the Forgiver Raise up a gla**, a time to remember Come, break this bread, celebrate the forgiver Come as you are, as you are, as you are Come as you are, as you are, as you are Come as you are, as you are, as you are (Come as you are, come as you are) Come as you are, as you are, as you are (Come as you are, come as you are)
