This week’s featured song story comes to us from Hillsong United. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “As You Find Me.”
“If you want my heart I won’t second guess. I need your love more than anything. I’m in. I’m Yours. Your love’s too good to leave me here. That’s everything I want to say. At the end of the day I don’t understand why you’d want to use me, why you’d want my heart but if You do I’m not going to second guess it. I’m in. That’s the option for us everyday are you in or are you out?” – Joel Houston (Hillsong United)

“As You Find Me” Lyrics
VERSE 1
I’ve been strong
And I’ve been broken within a moment
I’ve been faithful
And I’ve been reckless at every bend
I’ve held everything together
And watched it shatter
I’ve stood tall and I have crumbled
In the same breath
VERSE 2
I have wrestled
And I have trembled toward surrender
Chased my heart adrift
And drifted home again
Plundered blessing
Till I’ve been desperate to find redemption
And every time I turn around
Lord You’re still there
PRE-CHORUS 1
I was found
Before I was lost
I was Yours
Before I was not
Grace to spare
For all my mistakes
And that part just wrecks me
CHORUS
And I know I don’t deserve this kind of love
Somehow this kind of love is who You are
It’s a grace I could never add up
To be somebody You still want
But somehow
You love me as You find me
VERSE 3
Who am I
To think Your glory needs my praises
But if this borrowed breath is Yours Lord
Take it all
You are faithful and You are gracious
And I’m just grateful
To think You don’t need a single thing
And still You want my heart
PRE-CHORUS 2
I was found
Before I was lost
I was Yours
Before I was not
You wear the scars
For all my mistakes
And that part just wrecks me
TAG
Your love’s too good to leave me here
BRIDGE
If You want my heart
I won’t second guess
‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything
I’m in
I’m Yours
Your love’s too good to leave me here
Your love’s too good to leave me
This song absolutely brings me to tears every…single…time. Can’t sing it in church when the worship team is singing cuz all I do is cry!
