Hymn: “Just as I Am, Without One Plea”
Just as I am, without one plea,
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 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, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without
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!
Just as I am, thy love unknown,
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now to thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God,
I come, I come!
Closing Prayer: May the power, peace, and presence of Jesus Christ uphold, sustain, direct, and keep you always. Amen.
