Take Me as I Am

Eliza H. Hamilton • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 102:1

Verse 1

Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry, Unless thou help me I must die; O bring thy free salvation nigh And take me as I am.

Chorus

O take me as I am, O take me as I am, My only plea Christ died for me; O take me as I am.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

No preparation can I make, My best resolves I only break, Yet save me for thy mercy’s sake And take me as I am.

Verse 4

Behold me, Saviour, at thy feet, Deal with me as thou seest meet, Thy work begin, thy work complete, But take me as I am.
