Veteran Contemporary Christian pop-rock group Pocket Full of Rocks’ Come As You Are is the first single off its third CD, More Than Noise (Word/Myrrh Records). If early radio acceptance is any indication, Come As You Are is shaping up to become its latest major hit, which is great, considering the storied career of Pocket Full of Rocks (or PFOR, as it likes to be called, apparently).
PFOR’s Michael Farren collaborated with veteran CCM writers Chad Cates and Tony Wood to pen one of the more memorable encouraging songs this year; Come As You Are‘s lyrics speak of how and why we can connect to Jesus anytime. Heartfelt vocals from Farren and his wife Alisa are reminiscent of Casting Crowns, FFH, Selah, and Caedmon’s Call, and will easily connect with audiences of all ages, especially those seeking Christ. Pocket Full of Rocks’ Come As You Are is gaining in popularity. The song is now #12 with a bullet on Radio & Records’ Soft AC/Inspo chart and debuted at #18 on its main Christian AC chart. It’s registered the fifth highest increase in airplay for this week on Soft AC/Inspo. Mark my words, PFOR could have a major hit in its hands here.

COME AS YOU ARE Lyrics
Pocket Full of Rocks
He’s not mad at you
He’s not disappointed
His grace is greater still,
than all of your wrong choices
He is full of mercy and he is ever kind
Hear his invitation, His arms are open wide
You can come as you are,
with all your broken pieces
And all your shameful scars
The pain you hold in your heart,
bring it all to Jesus
You can come as you are
Louder than the voice that whispers your unworthy
Hear the sound of love,
that tells a different story
Shattering your darkness and pushing through the lies
How tenderly he calls you,
His arms are open wide
You can come as you are,
with all your broken pieces
And all your shameful scars
The pain you hold in your heart,
bring it all to Jesus
You can come as you are
You can come as you are
You can come as you are with all your broken pieces
And all your shameful scars
The pain you hold in your heart,
bring it all to Jesus
You can come as you are
