1 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!
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!
3 Just as I am - though toss'd about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come!
4 Just as I am - Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come!

Words that mean as much today as when written. Praise our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!
Thank you for this video. Yes we come to Christ with nothing- i.e., as beggars. As one divine put it, "The Gospel is nothing but one beggar telling another where to find food!"
Praise the LORD! 😢
I was raised in a Pentecostal Church and cannot remember a time that hymn was not part of my life. I was six years old when I accepted Jesus as my Savior.
I may have heard 'Just As I Am' long before my first memory of its impact, but here is that memory. It impacted me most while watching the Gaither video "A Billy Graham Homecoming. In this video, Cliff Barrows shared his memory of a crusade held in the 50s in England. The press had published the opinion that the emotion behind "Just as I am" is what caused people to come forward to receive Christ.
This greatly troubled Billy Graham, so he instructed Barrows to not sing or have the musicians play Just As I Am" until given the cue to do so. When the invitation portion of each service came, Graham instead prayed, asking The Lord to work in hearts, and for those who felt the call to come forward. To make a long story short, the hymn was not played for the
30 days of the Crusade, more than 1000 people accepted Christ and the press was forced to retract as fully as they ever do.
More than a decade after hearing this, this hymn still impacts my heart in the same way: it inspires thankfulness that God has invited, accepted, forgiven and redeemed me. It also inspires a need to impact nonbelievers in the way that God has called me to help bring about their prayer of salvation.
It was the hymn playing during my stepping forward during the alter call as I accepted Jesus. April 18, 1983
When Billy Graham visited Trinidad & Tobago and preached in the Savannah, Port of Spain during one of his worldwide crusades. “Just As I Am”
This was the altar call song at my childhood church, and I can't hear it without crying. Thank you!
Such an emotional hymn. It touched my heart and as I wept, I stood up and accepted Jesus as my Savior. I was 11 years old. It’s so personal to me that I consider it my testimony.
I heard this sung in Newfoundland , where my sister, Sr Pat Flynn SOS was a nun and taught in St Juliens. Was very touched by the hymn, and am still thrilled to hear it.
First heard and sang this hymn when I attended Billy Graham Crusade held in Singapore in late 1960s and when I accepted Jesus as my Saviour
The amazing and unchanging love of God the Father is greatly shown... which inspires any sinner to come to God and not go far or farther away from God...
My memory for this song is from Dr Billy Graham's altar call
"just as i am" with my many sins yet CHRIST loves me n thinks me worthy to be redeemed,oh how gracious THIS LOVE is!Hallelujah. Amen.Emmanuel.
🧡🧡🧡
My husband had told me. He wanted this sang at his funeral. In 2021 we did honor his wishes.
I first heard this hymn in Billy Graham crusade on television.
I heard this song sung by the Detty Sisters last year they did it
A song of total surrender...giving our all to Jesus.
I do remember singing this many many times.
Thanks U for all U do for God's kingdom..✝️
Just as I am without one plea I come to you O My GOD, by the blood of Jesus Christ I am cleansed, and received a new life in Christ
Here I come just as I am, to receive You Lord
I grew up down south, in the state of Georgia in the U.S., Baptist background. This song was often used as an "invitational hymn" at the end of the service, when the pastor would give altar calls for people to give their hearts to Jesus. The Holy Spirit speaks through the words even today to woo our hearts to Jesus.
In memory of my precious grandmother. Thank you!
Thank you for this, much appreciated!
So relevant in this day & age when we desperately need a Christian Revival. Even those of us who call ourselves Christians need to humble our selves & surrender to God anew. Thank you Luke.
I love this song heard in Billy Grahams crusades
My memory is of Billy Graham services, also, that would broadcast on tv as a child. I remember that “feeling” bc of this song along with apparently many others as they came to the altar…hundreds…and this made a mark on heart and in my mind. I wanted to sing this for a service and saw Mahalia did a rendition of this too💜wow!!!
Thanks for the history of it
A beautiful meaningful ministry -,-eternal.❤
I love this song sooo much especially this version and how it's sang. Growing up we sang it in a different melody,but this melody is the one that scoops the meaning of The Blood of Jesus and what it must represent in our lives.
Heard and sang in the Salvation Army at the mercy seat. Many years ago.❤
Luke, I can honestly say I don’t have any memory of this hymn, so hearing it today was a first. It’s so meaningful. I love hearing the History behind all these songs. Thanks.
Such a great song based on beautiful person's effort.
Luke
