4 ENTRANCE SONG: Come As You Are GA212/AOV Come as you are, that s how I want you. Come as you are, feel quite at home. Close to my heart, loved and forgiven; come as you are, why stand alone? 2. No need to fear, love sets no limits. No need to fear, love never ends. Don t run away shamed and disheartened. Rest in my love, trust me again. 3. I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous, I came to bring peace, not to condemn, Each time you fail to live by my promise, why do you think I d love you the less? 4. Come as you are, that s how I love you. Come as you are, trust me again. Nothing can change the love that I bear you. All will be well, just come as you are.
