- 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.
Chorus: 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.
- 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. - 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. - Behold me, Saviour at thy feet;
Deal with me as Thou see est me;
Thy work begin, Thy work complete,
And take me as I am.
