1 I am coming to the Saviour,
At His feet I bow;
I am pleading for His favor,
Just now, just now.

Chorus:
I am coming, I am coming,
I am coming just now,
I am coming, I am coming,
I am coming just now.

2 All my sin and guilt confessing,
At His feet I bow;
I am waiting for His blessing,
Just now, just now. [Chorus]

3 In contrition humbly kneeling,
At His feet I bow;
I am seeking grace and healing,
Just now, just now. [Chorus]

4 I believe Him, I believe Him,
At His feet I bow;
I receive Him, I receive Him,
Just now, just now. [Chorus]

5 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb once slain;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen! Amen!
Amen! Amen! [Chorus]
