Just As I Am

1 Just as I am, without one plea,  
But that Thy blood was shed for me,  
And that Thou bidd'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 and fears within, without,  
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!  

4 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!
