Text: | Just as I am, without one plea |
Author: | Charlotte Elliott |
Tune: | WOODWORTH |
Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
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, I come.
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, I come.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
"Fightings within, and fears without,"
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
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, I come.
5 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.
6 Just as I am, thy love I own
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, and thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
