Verse 1
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou biddest 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, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Verse 4
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down,
Now, to be Thine, yes, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
29. The next day John saw Jesus coming
toward him, and said, “Behold! The
Lamb of God who takes away the sin
of the world!
30. This is He of whom I said, ‘After me
comes a Man who is preferred before
me, for He was before me.’
31. I did not know Him; but that
He should be revealed to Israel,
therefore I came baptizing with
water.”
32. And John bore witness, saying, “I saw
the Spirit descending from heaven like
a dove, and He remained upon Him.
33. I did not know Him, but He who
sent me to baptize with water
said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on
Him, this is He who baptizes with the
Holy Spirit.’
34. And I have seen and testified that this
is the Son of God.”
