Text: | Just as I am, without one plea |
Author: | Charlotte Elliott |
Tune: | WOODWORTH |
Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
Just as I am: thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe,
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.
Amen.
