LyicsJust as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bid'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.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, haling of the mind,
Yea, all I need in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, 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.
Just as I am--thy love unknown,
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
