Just As I Am

I wondered how to come to You

I did not dare believe it true

That You regard the orphaned ones

Beloved daughters

Worthy sons

For the broken and the barren too

I heard I could find some rest in You

What kind of love in injury's place

Would leave instead the stain of grace?

So I come in sorrow

And I come in shame

I come to the cross with my pain

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

The pardon that I found from sin

Spilled out from where the nails went in

My heart will ever more proclaim

I had not lived until that day

And I know there is a crown for me

Beyond where mortal eyes can see

And I don't nod to any man

But offer me just as I am

So I come rejoicing

With hands held high

And I come singing words of new life

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

O Lamb of God

O Lamb of God, I come, I come

O Lamb of God, I come
