Text: | Take Me as I Am |
Author: | Eliza H. Hamilton |
Tune: | [Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry |
Composer: | Ira D. Sankey |
1 Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
Unless Thou help me I must die:
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.
Chorus:
And take me as I am,
And take me as I am;
My only plea--Christ died for me!
Oh, take me as I am.
2 Helpless I am, and full of guilt;
But yet for me Thy blood was spilt,
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
And take me as I am. [Chorus]
3 No preparation can I make,
My best resolves I only break,
Yet save me for Thine own name's sake,
And take me as I am. [Chorus]
4 Behold me, Saviour, at Thy feet,
Deal with me as Thou seest meet;
Thy work begin, Thy work complete,
And take me as I am. [Chorus]
