Author: E. H. H. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1272 (1886) First Line: Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry,
Unless thou help me I must die;
O bring thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.
Chorus:
Take me as I am,
Take me as I am;
Lord, I give myself to thee,
O take me as I am.
2 Helpless I am, and full of guilt,
But yet for me thy blood was spilt;
And thou canst make me what thou wilt,
And take me as I am. [Chorus]
3 I bow before thy mercy seat,
Behold me, Saviour, at thy feet;
Thy work begin, thy work complete,
And take me as I am [Chorus]
4 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. [Chorus]
5 And when at last the work is done,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won;
Still, still my cry shall be alone,
Lord, take me as I am. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Scripture: Psalm 102:1 Tune Title: TAKE ME AS I AM
