I've been wasting way too much of my time
Living up in my mind, trying to do it all right
Spinning my wheels, thinking that there's something I could do
To be more loved by you
I was making it my exception
To try and earn your affection
But that all faded away
When I heard You say

Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as you are
Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as, just as you are
Just as you are

You turned the light on and flipped the script
I'm suddenly seeing what I used to miss
Ya got me livin' in the present tense
With a love so deep, you're the greatest gift
Feeling light as a feather
Free and without the pressure
Of ever losing Your grace
Since I heard you say

Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as you are
Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as, just as you are
Just as you are

You ain't gotta try so hard, try so hard
You've always been safe in my arms
You ain't gotta try so hard
You're safe in my arms, in my arms

Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as you are
Ooh, child, don't ya know I love ya
Just as, just as, just as you are
Just as you are
Just as you are
Just as you are
