Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival ‎#75

75. Take Me as I Am

1 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!

Refrain:
Take me as I am,
Take me as I am;
Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

2 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! [Refrain]

3 Just as I am, tho’ tossed about
With many a conflict many a doubt,
Fightings within and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Refrain]

4 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! [Refrain]

5 Just as I am—thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise, I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Refrain]

6 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! [Refrain]
