God calls us to come to Him through Christ, just as we are.
John 6:37 ESV
“Just As I Am”
by Charlotte Elliot
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd’st 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, I would be lost,
But mercy and grace my freedom bought.
And now to glory in Your cross,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come.
[addendum by Travis Cottrell]
I come broken to be mended,
I come wounded to be healed.
I come desp’rate to be rescued,
I come empty to be filled.
I come guilty to be pardoned
by the blood of Christ, the Lamb.
And I’m welcomed with open arms,
praise God, just as I am!
