Name: Just As I Am
Duration: P00H03M59S
Description: There's an old hymn from the Billy Graham crusade days (long before I got into any of this God stuff) called Just As I Am - this isn't it, but perhaps a kind of heart response to it. They say that when the choir sang that song people would just stream forward, many in tears, to get right with God.

lyrics

JUST AS I AM

Jesus I come to you
just as I am
Jesus I bow my head
now I understand
you are my Lord, you are my God

Jesus I give to you
my earthly throne
it was yours in the first place
so come and take back your own
you are my Lord, you are my God

Jesus I offer you
the days of my life
I’ve nothing else to give
so do with them as you like
you are my Lord, you are my God.
