Lyics

Just 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.
