1 Tal como soy, de pecador,
sin más confianza que tu amor,
Ya que me llamas, acudí;
Cordero de Dios, heme aquí.

2 Tal como soy, buscando paz
en mi desgracia y mal tenaz,
Conflicto grande siento en mi;
Cordero de Dios, heme aquí.

3 Tal como soy, me acogerás;

Cordero de Dios, heme aquí.

4 Tal como soy, tu compasión
vencido ha toda oposición;
Ya pertenezco sólo a ti;
Cordero de Dios, heme aquí.
