Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea,But that thy blood was shed for me,And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, and waiting notTo rid my soul of one dark blot,To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, tho' tossed aboutWith many a conflict, many a doubt,Fightings within, and fears without,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am—poor, wretched, blind;Sight, riches, healing of the mind,Yea, all I need, in thee to find,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am—thou wilt receive,Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;Because thy promise I believe,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am—thy love unknownHath broken every barrier down;Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
