Sorry that my video guy starts singing along in a couple of places... I guess that means it was OK... :) This is the very popular invitational anthem "Come Just As You Are" by Joe Sabolick. I think it's a Calvary Chapel song... That's where I first heard it, and I've heard it there many times. One of my favorites... One of the beauties of the Gospel: we don't save ourselves by our own good deeds - we can not. All of us are inclined to sin. We love it. When's the last time you thought about God's commandments? Here are a few: You shall not steal. You shall not lie. You shall not use the Lord's name in vain. You shall not covet (long for things that others have). That's just a few. But have you obeyed them, ALL THE TIME, for your whole life? Be honest. You see, we face God's judgment and holy wrath because we break His commands (that's what sin is). But God has made a way to be forgiven. One way only. We repent (that is, change our minds about our sin - acknowledge that is it grievous, that it matters, that it keeps us alienated from Him and facing that holy wrath - and purpose to LEAVE it), and in that repentant spirit, we place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died taking the Father's punishment for your sin. We come just as we are, but God certainly does not expect us to stay that way! Those in Christ are new creations, born again - and in His power we walk in newness of life, abandoning the love of the things of this world, setting our affections on things above. As we walk with Him, we grow, we become more holy, more righteous, more humble. Come just as you are, renounce your sinful ways, trust in Christ Jesus, believe that God raised Him from the dead just as the Bible says, declare Him to be your Lord, and follow Him all the days of your life. He will Him completely change you.

You know what's funny about that? I've never actually heard a recording of the song. I went to a Calvary Chapel for about year a long time ago, and they used to play it sometimes. It's just on the memory of how that sounded that I put this together. That might explain why my vocal sounds different. :)

this song brought up memories of my first missionary trip to America, when I worked at a Baptist Church. we used to sing this song a lot. It was a great experience with God. God bless you my brother, and keep singing from your heart!
