Take Me as I Am

1Jesus, 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.

RefrainTake me as I am,
Take me as I am,
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

2Helpless 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.

3No 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.

4I bow before Thy mercy seat,
Behold me,
Saviour, at Thy feet;
Thy work begin,
Thy work complete,
And take me as I am.

5If Thou hast work for me to do,
Inspire my will, my heart renew;
And work both in, and by me, too,
And take me as I am.

6And when at last the work is done,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won,
Still, still my cry shall be alone,
Lord, take me as I am.
