but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Refrain:
Just as I am, just as I am, just as I am 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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
5 Just as I am! thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come. [Refrain]
6 Just as I am! thy love unknown
has broken ev'ry barrier down;
now, to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come. [Refrain]
