The classic Christian hymn, “Just As I Am” was
written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835. Despite being crippled
by illness and in constant fatigue, she took pen to paper and
wrote a poem to encourage others who also felt that they too had
nothing to give, but to simply come “Just As I Am.”
Throughout Billy Graham crusade’s, George Beverly Shea sang this
song as an encouragement to all who didn’t know
the Lord Jesus to come to Him Just As I Am:
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!
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!
Just As I Am - though toss’d about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
-O Lamb of God, 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!
Just As I Am - Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come!
Just As I Am - Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, 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
Friend, no matter your past, present, or how dark your future
may appear to be, simply come to Christ today and He will give
you inner peace and rest in a life that will last Forever.
