Just As I Am




Even though it got beat to death by over-use during altar calls ("We're going to sing this again, for the 27th time, softly and quietly, and if one more soul will come, we'll sing it 28 times...")


....BUT, the theology of it is tender and wonderful and reminds me of the love of my Hero. "...fighting fears within, fears without, oh Lamb of God I come."


Just as I Am, Without One PleaBy: Charlotte Elliott


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 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, 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 a I am; thy love unknown

Has broken every barrier down;

Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
