Just As I Am
Embracing Unconditional Love: "Just As I Am" by Marshall Marshall
Lyrics
Just as I am, without one plea,
Approaching without any justification or excuse.
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
Acknowledging that the sacrifice of Christ's blood was for personal redemption.
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
Responding to the invitation to come to Christ.
O Lamb of God, I come
Expressing a willingness to come to Christ, recognizing Him as the Lamb of God.
You found me
Reiterating the acceptance of the individual as they are, emphasizing love and acceptance.
You loved me
-You take me Just as I am
-You found me
-You loved me
-You take me Just as I am
-Just as I am, Thou will receive,
Believing that, just as they are, they will be received, welcomed, pardoned, cleansed, and relieved.
Will welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Emphasizing the assurance of receiving forgiveness and cleansing based on faith in God's promise.
Because Thy promise I believe,
Highlighting the role of faith in the acceptance of the individual.
O Lamb of God, I come,
Reaffirming the commitment to come to Christ, addressing Him as the Lamb of God.
You found me
Repeating the theme of being found, loved, and accepted just as the person is.
You loved me
-You take me Just as I am
-You found me
-You loved me
-You take me Just as I am
-You pull me close
Describing a close and secure relationship, with the assurance that the acceptance is unwavering.
You won’t let go
-Just as I am
-Just as I am
Reiterating the concept of being accepted and taken as one is.
You take me as I am
-Just as I am
