Just As I Am

I will sing unto the Lord: I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.  Judges 5:3

Singing is a gift of God given to mankind to express the feelings of the soul. The highest and richest form of singing is the giving of praise and worship unto the Lord for who He is and the wonderful works He has done.
Other hymns are sung with a deep sense of conviction with a strong appeal for a total surrender of one's life to the Lord.  Such is the hymn, "Just as I am", Written by Miss Charlotte Elliott, 1789-1871

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, 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, I come.

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.

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, I come.

Just as I am, Thou wilt recieve,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
