45. He Takes My Sin Away

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!

Chorus:
He takes my sin away,
He takes my sin away,
Thou spotless Lamb, thy precious blood,
Takes all my sin away.

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! [Chorus]

3 Just as I am, tho' toss'd about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and foes without,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Chorus]

4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Chorus]

5 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Chorus]

6 Just as I am, thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, and thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come! [Chorus]
