  • Charlotte Elliot, born in 1789, suffered a serious illness at the age of 32. The illness left her a complete invalid for the rest of her life. The year after she became ill, a preacher from Geneva came to visit her father's home. In the course of the conversation, Charlotte told him that she did not know how to find Christ. He answered, "Come to Him just as you are." Charlotte's conversion began because of this statement and, although it was not the immediate cause of her writing this hymn, the words seem to have remained in her mind for many years. Over the next few years, Charlotte moved to be near one of her brothers, who was a clergyman. He was organising a school where daughters of poor clergymen could be educated for low cost. Charlotte was frustrated that she was unable to physically help with the set up of this school and to relief her own worries, she wrote the poem that has since become the hymn, "Just As I Am." It has been put to several melodies. The one we are singing here is the "Woodworth" tune.
    Just As I Am
    Verse 1
    Just as I am, without one plea,
    But that Thy blood was shed for me,
    And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Verse 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, I come.
    Verse 3
    Just as I am, though tossed about
    With many a conflict, many a doubt,
    “Fightings within, and fears without,”
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Verse 4
    Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
    Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
    Yes, all I need in Thee to find,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Verse 5
    Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
    Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
    Because Thy promise I believe,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Verse 6
    Just as I am, Thy love I own
    Has broken every barrier down;
    Now, to be Thine, and Thine alone,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

    Another beautiful hymn is, Jesus keep me near the cross. There is no shortage of hurting people in todays world. May people all around the world find peace and hope in what Jesus Christ did on the cross for all those who would just believe in Him and accept His forgiveness. Thanks again for the beautiful music you have on this channel.

      Jesus’ acceptance of us is the most beautiful and undeserving part of our Christian walk. May we always come to Him just as we are for Him to work His love and grace in our lives. God bless you this week! If you like this one you may enjoy others on this channel also!

    The legalists should all take her song and point of worship to heart, and of course also read Romans in it's wonderful entirety: We can add NOTHING to our blood bought salvation by the Perfect Lamb of God, Jesus Christ! Actually, the key to accept, that we need a Savior at all is, that we accept ourselves as sinners in need of a Savior at all, is it not?
    “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32 KJV

      Isn’t it a wonderful thing that we can come to Jesus just as we are! Yes, legalism is a trap that is hard to escape from - due to its very nature. We must only accept Jesus. That’s our part! God bless you this week!
