Just as I Am Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In shackles and chains, I came to Your door
And fell on the floor of mercy
Guilty I stood, guilty I was
I couldn't hide my shame

[Chorus 1]
Just as I am, just as I am
Jesus, You welcomed me, You took me in
I'll never be the same again
My life held in Your hands
Just as I am

[Verse 2]
, amazing grace
You came all the way to meet me
Carried me home, with a ring and a robe
Threw Your loving arms around me
[Chorus 1]
Just as I am, just as I am
Jesus, You welcomed me, You took me in
I'll never be the same again
My life held in Your hands...
[Bridge]
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Your blood was shed for me
And that You bid me, come to Thee
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Your blood was shed for me
And that You bid me, come to Thee
Oh Lamb of God I come
[Chorus 2]
Just as I am, just as I am
Jesus, You welcomed me, You took me in
I'll never be the same again
My life held in Your hands
Just as I am, just as I am
Jesus, You welcomed me, You took me in
I'll never be the same again
My life held in Your hands
Oh my life is held in Your hands
Just as I am
Just as I am
