Just as I am {Sunday's make-up post}

A while back I wrote about the hymn "Just as I am" written by Charlotte Elliot in 1835. It is comforting to know that people throughout the ages have had struggles similar to mine.

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.
