Just As I Am
Embracing Grace: A Journey of Surrender
Lyrics
Just as I am, without one plea
Expressing a state of being accepted without any conditions or requirements.
But that Thy blood was shed for me
Acknowledging the belief in the redemptive power of Christ's blood for personal salvation.
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
Recognizing the invitation to approach and connect with the divine.
O Lamb of God, I come
Committing to come to God, addressing Christ as the sacrificial Lamb.
Just as I am, though tossed about
Affirming one's imperfections and struggles while approaching God.
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Acknowledging internal conflicts, doubts, and external fears.
Fightings within and fears without
Highlighting inner struggles and external anxieties.
O Lamb of God, I come
Reiterating the commitment to come to God despite challenges.
Just as I am, poor, wretched and blind
Describing oneself as spiritually poor, wretched, and blind.
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Expressing the need for spiritual sight, wealth, and mental healing.
Yea, all I need in Thee to find
Seeking fulfillment of all needs through a connection with God.
O Lamb of God, I come
Renewing the commitment to come to God, addressing Christ as the Lamb of God.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
Believing in acceptance, welcome, forgiveness, and cleansing by God.
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
Expressing confidence in God's promises as the basis for seeking pardon and relief.
Because Thy promise I believe
Emphasizing faith in God's promises as a key aspect of the commitment.
O Lamb of God, I come
Reiterating the decision to come to God, addressing Christ as the Lamb of God.
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Reflecting on the unknown, transformative nature of God's love.
Hath broken every barrier down
Describing the breaking down of barriers through God's love.
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone
Expressing the desire to belong solely to God.
O Lamb of God, I come
Reaffirming the commitment to come to God, addressing Christ as the Lamb of God.
Just as I am, of that free love
Acknowledging the experience of God's unconditional love.
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove
Exploring the vast dimensions of God's love—breadth, length, depth, and height.
Here for a season, then above
Considering a temporary existence here on earth and an eternal existence above with God.
O Lamb of God, I come
Reiterating the commitment to come to God, addressing Christ as the Lamb of God.
