JUST as I am, without one plea But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bid'st 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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POE'S COTTAGE AT FORDHAM by JOHN HENRY BONER ODE SUNG IN THE TOWN HALL, CONCORD, JULY 4, 1857 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE BIRDS: THE HYMN OF THE BIRDS by ARISTOPHANES SAW YE JOHNNIE COMIN'? by JOANNA BAILLIE FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: HUMAN LIFE - ITS VALUE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES ODE TO WINTER by THOMAS CAMPBELL |
