Hymn 43

Take me as I am

Verse 1

Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
Unless Thou help me, I must die,
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.
Refrain:
Take me as I am,
Take me as I am,
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

Verse 2

Helpless I am, and full of guilt,
But yet Thy blood for me was spilt,
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
But take me as I am.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

I thirst, I long to know Thy love,
Thy full salvation I would prove;
But since to Thee I cannot move,
Oh, take me as I am.

Verse 5

If Thou hast work for me to do,
Inspire my will, my heart renew,
And work both in and by me, too,
Oh, take me as I am.
