 1 

Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;

Unless Thou save me, I must die:

Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,

And take me as I am!

 

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.

 

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!

 
 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.

 

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!

 
 4 

Behold me, Savior, at Thy feet,

Deal with me as Thou seest meet;

Thy work begin, Thy work complete,

But take me as I am.

 

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!
