1. 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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!

May 1, 2010AndrewSurulere, Lagos, NigeriaIt's 2:40am. Just finished singing this song and I broke down crying. I believe it's the presence of God doing something new in me. Thank you for the great work you are doing through this website.

Dec. 8, 2009Raveen RichardBangalore, IndiaI learnt Just as I am in my Sunday school class, but it was in Kannada (a regional language). Now when I search on the net I got this. Glory to Jesus.

Oct. 22, 2009Boaz LeongManila, Philippines"Go to God just as you are." An old preacher told this to the author. These words are really comforting. For us to be saved, there is no need for us to improve ourselves before coming to the Lord. He will accept us just as we are.

Feb. 21, 2009Daniel Etim AkpakpanOlodi Apapa, Lagos State, NigeriaIt is quite wonderful to know how much Christ loves us and has become a lense of God by which He sees us just as we are not for sin but part of His Son (Jesus) eyeball. Why should I condemn myself when even Christ receive me the way I come. I am so touch by this song. God bless Elliott, God loves me and God saves the federal republic of Nigeria. Amen.

Oct. 12, 2008thompson okoduwakubwa, abuja, NigeriaEach time I listen to this song, it lifts my spirit because I never knew God could pardon all my wrongful deeds and still give me such peace as though I've never sinned. If God could touch me, He could touch you as well. Only open up your heart for Him to come in. You haven't gone too far from His presence that His hand of mercy can't reach you.

Aug. 20, 2008Esther LeeFolsom, CA, United StatesThis song is unbelievably comforting.

June 9, 2008Shanta MCalifornia, United StatesAmen Lord just as I am no masks walls or covers You know me better than I know myself. While we were yet sinners You died for us Lord just as we are You cleanse us with Your blood. Not for making us better but to saturated us with Your life. We need You, You are all-inclusive, You possesses everything we need. Oh Lord I come, I come just as I am. Oh Lord I can't change myself so You sent Your love and grace to save me. I enjoy this song so many times I get caught up in trying to be the best me before God. I can never be the best-perfect just in myself-Praise the Lord Christ fills all in all.

Mar. 20, 2008Hymnal.NetI like the song we sang today. It says, "Just as I am...I come! I come!" [Hymns, #1048]. I have told you before that this hymn was written by a woman in her twenties. She said that she had the sense of sin since she was very young. She wondered how a person like herself could face God. To her this was impossible. She visited many churches and talked with many pastors. She asked them questions and tried to find out from them how she could be saved. This went on for seven or eight years. Many told her that she had to do better before she could believe in Jesus. Others told her that she should pray more and study the Bible more. Still others told her to do good and perform noble deeds, or to do this or do that before she could believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved. As time went by, she found herself worse than before. In the end, she met an old preacher. She asked the old man what she must do before she could be saved. The old man put his hand on her back and said, "Go to God just as you are." She jumped up and asked, "Do I not have to do better, make more progress, and improve more before I can believe in the Lord Jesus?" The old man said, "There is no such need. You can come just as you are." On that day, she became clear and realized that she could come to the Lord just as she was.

God knows that we are sick. This is why He sent us the Doctor. Friends, have you ever been sick? Suppose I have a fever of one hundred five degrees. If I ask the doctor to come, will he say that he will come when the temperature drops to one hundred three? The sicker I am, the faster the doctor will come. If a person's temperature is ninety-eight degrees, the doctor may say that since it is only ninety-eight degrees, there is no need to go. The more serious your illness is, the faster the doctor will come. The woman admitted that she was a sick person and that Jesus Christ is the Physician from God who came to heal her. Not long after she returned home, she wrote this hymn: "Just as I am...I come! I come!"

Apr. 23, 2007Mrs. Kathleen KnowlesI call this my hymn. I dedicated my life to Jesus in 1958 at a Billy Graham rally and this was playing as I walked forward.
