Amazing Grace movie - Just as I Am lyrics

rate me

Song by Nichole Nordeman<br /><br>

I wondered how to come to You,<br>

I did not dare believe it true, that You regard the orphaned ones:<br>

beloved daughters, worthy sons, <br>

the broken and the barren too,<br>

I heard I could find some rest in You.<br>

<br>

What kind of love in injury's place, <br>

would leave instead the stain of grace?<br>

So I come in sorrow and I come in shame.<br>

I come to the cross with my pain.<br>

<br>

Just as I am, without one plea,<br>

but that thy blood was shed for me<br>

and that Thou bidst me come to Thee,<br>

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.<br>

<br>

The pardon that I found from sin spilled out from where the nails went in.<br>

My heart will ever more proclaim<br>

I had not lived until that day.<br>

And I know there is a crown for me<br>

beyond where mortal eyes can see<br>

and I don't nod to any man,<br>

but offer me just as I am.<br>

<br>

So I come rejoicing with hands held high,<br>

and I come singing words of new life.<br>

<br>

Just as I am, without one plea,<br>

but that thy blood was shed for me<br>

and that Thou bidst me come to Thee,<br>

O Lamb of God,<br>

O Lamb of God,<br>

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.<br>

<br>

O Lamb of God, I come.<br>

<br>
