• Lyrics:
  Just as I am, without one plea,
  But that Thy blood was shed for me,
  And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
  O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  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, I come.
  
  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.
  
  Just as I am, Thy love unknown
  Hath broken every barrier down;
  Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
  O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
  
  Just as I am, of that free love
  The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
  Here for a season, then above,
  O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
