Just As I Am (Without One Plea)
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
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 naught
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 thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God I come, I come.
