Just As I Am

Just as I am, without one plea, 

But that Thy blood was shed for me, 

And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, 

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not 

To 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, though tossed about 

With many a conflict, many a doubt, 

Fightings and fears within, 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 unknown 

Hath broken every barrier down;

Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, 

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, of that free love 

The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove, 

Here for a season, then above, 

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
