 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!
