But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

This hymn of dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ starts each verse with 'Just as I am, and ends each verse with 'O lamb of God I come'.
Although we come to God in Christ just as we are, He does not want to keep us just as we are. Rather He wants to change us from one degree of glory to another ( 2 Corinthians, and detailed in Romans 8 verse 29). Only as we become more like the Lorc Jesus ( confirmed to the image of God's Son) do we honour and glorify God.
We love God because He first loves us (1 John).

Am a mother of four, currently job hunting and my passion and talent is in the media. I have done a different course though.
I have a contact of a very senior media personality, everytime I want to call him, I feel not prepared. I have been practising so as to have the best impression. At some point I said to myself that am tired of this. I thought of how I go to Jesus without appointments at any time, anywhere and remembered this epic song that I once sang in secondry school. "Just as I am, I come" As I sing, tears just flow.

I was so touched this morning, I heard the song clearly in my dream world and I woke up to glorify Him for reaching out to me in such a glorious way.
May His name alone be praised.

When I was 24, back in 1977, I watched a crusade on TV. I gave my life to the Lord watching Reverend Graham. His words from God made my Catholic faith come alive. And the words to this song “just as I am” reminds me that He loves me for myself.

I am a native of Panama now living in CA. The Crusade came to Panama while I was in high school my sister in junior high. We both sang in the choir. My mother, a counselor at the altar. It was an experience I will never forget. I am now 73. When Billy Graham said “Come with those eyes piercings your very soul“ people just came.
It was also the first time I sang “ How Great Thou Art “.
I remember Clift Barrows and George Beverly Shea. Their voices??

This was the hymn that was sung during my baptism. Now, 47 years later, it holds even more meaning for me. I'm a Catholic now, and unfortunately we don't generally sing this song at Mass.
