Ryan Stevenson
A GRAMMY® and Billboard Music Award nominee; Dove Award winner once went to work in the back of an ambulance working twelve-hour shifts answering calls from people in need. Today Ryan Stevenson’s music still answers those calls, in a way; instead of providing First-Aid, CPR & medicine for people in desperate situations, Ryan provides something even more powerful. Ryan’s music shares encouragement and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
“I spent eight years working as a paramedic; working on the streets, and being involved in responding to the darkest aspects of humanity.”
-Ryan Stevenson
Just As You Are
Ryan’s NEW SONG reminds us, God loves us, we are all sinners who fall short and we all need Jesus to come in and do the cleanup. We cannot become Holy on our own.
This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.-Romans 3:22-24
In a press release from Turning Point PR, Ryan said, “I believe this is paramount in understanding the Truth about the finished work of Jesus, His sacrifice made a way for us—not our own efforts and striving. Knowing that HE began a good work, we can take a deep breath and rest because He is faithful to His word to perform it.”
“Looking back on my journey, I’m so aware and in awe daily of where God has brought me, and how He’s walked with me so closely, Even when I didn’t ‘feel’ Him or sense His presence, it’s obvious to see how close He’s remained, holding me, in every valley and mountain top.” -Ryan Stevenson
“JUST AS YOU ARE” Has a relaxing, throwback fun, “summer vibe” to it that is sure to get your toe tapp’n or you may find yourself sway’n to the beat. When I say throwback, I’m referring to the bits of nostalgia that are pulled out of my childhood memory banks from the mid-late eighties playing my “Super Mario Bros.” game all summer long! So turn it up & lean back in your hammock or lawn-chair & enjoy the love of God in the breezes & sunshine of your summer!
I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you[a] will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. -Philippians 1: 6
Ryan Stevenson- Just As You Are Official Lyric Video
Lyrics
I've been wasting way too much of my time
Living up in my mind, trying to do it alright
Spinning my wheels, thinking that there's something I could do
To be more loved by You
I was making it my obsession
To try and earn Your affection
But that all faded away
When I heard You say
Ooh, child, don't you know I love you
Just as, just as you are?
Ooh, child, don't you know I love you
Just as, just as (just as)
Just as you are? (Telling you that you're precious)
Just as you are (telling you that you're precious)
You turned the light on and flipped the script
I'm suddenly seeing what I used to miss
Got me living 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 you know I love you
Just as, just as you are?
Ooh, child, don't you know I love you
Just as, just as (just as)
Just as you are? (Telling you that you're precious)
Just as you are (telling you that you're precious)
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
Safe in my arms, in my arms
Ooh, child, don't you know I love you (I love you)
Just as, just as you are? (Always gonna love you)
Ooh, child, don't you know I love you (I love you)
Just as, just as (just the way you are)
Just as you are? (Telling you that you're precious)
Just as you are (telling you that you're precious)
Just as you are (telling you that you're precious)
Just as you are (telling you that you're precious)
