COME AS YOU ARE: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM
SARAH BRIGHTMAN
FROM JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

I don't know how to love Him
What to do, how to move Him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days
When I've seen myself
I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why He moves me
He's a man
He's just a man
And I've had so many
Men before
In very many ways
He's just one more

Should I bring Him down
Should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Yet
If He said He loved me
I'd be lost
I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope
Just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head
I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want Him so
I love Him so


Sinners though we are,
Return to God and repent of our sins
For the Divine Love of Jesus
With God our Loving Father
Is merciful and full of compassion
Who loves you without any condition
Just the way you are!
