     D             A7       D
Just as I am, without one plea,
      A        G        A7      D
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
      D         D7       G
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
   D             A       D
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, tho' tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without,
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 ev'ry 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, the height to prove,
Here for a season then above,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!
