JUST AS I AM

Just As I Am

Just as I am – a heartbroken sinner

Just as I am – with my guilt and my shame

Just as I am – asking you to forgive me

Just as I am – trusting your precious name.

Just where I am – in my time of deep trouble;

Just where I am – in my sin and despair;

Just where I am – in my helpless condition;

Just where I am – hear my cry, hear my prayer.

Just when I’m so much in need of your mercy;

Just when I’m failing the dear ones I love;

Just when I’m suffering temptations of Satan;

Just when I’m sinking, then I look above.

Just what I am – you alone know my future;

Just what I am – you can help me become;

Just what I am – one of your precious children;

Just what I am – you will lead me safe home.
