Select Hymns ‎#321

321. Take Me As I Am

1. Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry;
Unless thou help me, I must die,
Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

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

2. Helpless I am, and full of guilt,
But yet thy blood for me was spilt,
And thou canst make me what thou wilt,
But take me as I am.

3. No preparation can I make,
My best resolves I only break;
Yet save me for thine own name's sake,
And take me as I am.

4. I thirst, I long to know thy love,
Thy full salvation I would prove;
But since to thee I cannot move,
Oh, take me as I am.

5. If Thou hast work for me to do,
Inspire my will, my heart renew,
And work both in and by me, too,
And take me as I am.

6. And when at last the work is done,
The battle o'er, the vict'ry won,
Still, still my cry shall be alone,
Lord, take me as I am.
