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! I come!
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!
2
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!
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
3
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and fears without,
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!
4
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,
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!
5
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!
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
6
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, I come!
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

"Just as I Am" is just inspiring, that God shed His blood for me and thus accepting me ''as I am''.... May He take reign in my life forever and ever.

Just as I am is a song that is divinely given to the writer. Each time I sing Just as I am I always see my spirit refreshed and see more reasons to remain in God. May the Lord blessed the writer and his generation.

"Just as I Am" is probably the most famous invitational hymn of them all. We use it often in our Crusades because it says it all. ...
Someone asked me one day why only the choir sings the invitational hymn at Crusades. I had an answer.
One day I told Billy Graham about my conversion experience, noting that "I think I was actually finding release from the conviction I was under by singing good and loud. Instead of going forward, I sang."
"That's very interesting, Bev," he said.
That night when the organist began playing the invitational hymn, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Billy say, "Now while the choir is singing, 'Just As I Am' ... ." - George Beverly Shea in "Songs that Lift the Heart"

Charlotte Elliott seemed to have everything going for her as a young woman. She was gifted as a portrait artist and also as a writer of humorous verse. Then in her early 30's she suffered a serious illness that left her weak and depressed. During her illness a noted minister, Dr. Caesar Malan of Switzerland, came to visit her. Noticing her depression, he asked if she had peace with God. She resented the question and said she did not want to talk about it.
But a few days later she went to apologize to Dr. Malan. She said that she wanted to clean up some things in her life before becoming a Christian. Malan looked at her and answered, "Come just as you are." That was enough for Charlotte Elliott, and she yielded herself to the Lord that day.
14 years later, remembering those words spoken to her by Caesar Malan in Brighton, England, she wrote this simple hymn. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
