Crowning Glory No. 2 ‎#38

38. 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!

Chorus:
Take me as I am!
Precious, bleeding Lamb,
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 split,
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
But take me as I am! [Chorus]

3 If Thou hast work for me to do,
Inspire my will, my heart renew,
And work both in and by me too,
But take me as I am! [Chorus]

4 And when at last the work is done,
The battle o'er, the vict'ry won,
Still, still my cry shall be alone,
Oh, take me as I am! [Chorus]
