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, I come!



Just as I am, though toss'd 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!
