Just As I Am

Just as I am! without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st to 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! 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 ev'ry barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
