LyicsJUST as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st 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;
With fears within, and foes 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,
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
