Lyrics to the hymn, Just As I Am

Mossy logs


Introduction

 Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by Charlotte Elliot, Just As I Am.

She wrote it in 1835, and it is now published in over 2,000 hymnals.

Both Carrie Underwood and Alan Jackson sang it, so that's where you go to learn the tune.

Personally, I listen to Carrie's version more.

Just As I Am is about coming to Christ, and trusting that He will take away your sins.

Now, as I have nothing else to add, on with the show!


The Lyrics 

Verse 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! I come!

Verse 2

Just as I am, and waiting not, 

To rid my soul of one dark blot;

To Thee who's blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Verse 3

Just as I am, though tossed about, 

With many a conflict, many a doubt;

Fightings within, and fears without,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Verse 4

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;

Sight, riches, healing of the mind;

Yes, all I need, in Thee to find, 

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Verse 5

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!

Verse 6

Just as I am, Thy love unknown,

Has broken every barrier down;

Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

        Picture of the sky during total eclipse 


Afterwards

Isn't it a nice song? 

Verse four kind of hits me, because once I was wretched and sought healing of the mind; God helped me, and now I am fairly mentally stable.

Fairly.

I still laugh loud.

A remarkable telephone pole

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

           Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog. Today, our subject is boogers. Boogers are very important, as they...           Snowy scene from a car window Yes, I'm trying to be funny. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by Robert Lowry, Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus; it was published in 1876, and it is about how only Jesus can take away our sins. It doesn't matter how generous we are, how charitable, how friendly, (don't get me wrong, these things are good) it doesn't matter how good we are, these things won't save us from our wicked ways; only the the blood of Jesus can do that. If you don't know how the hymn goes, look up Carrie Underwood on YouTube. Now, on with the show!              Mountain view          The Lyrics Verse 1 What can wash away my sins?
