Just As I Am
Travis Cottrell's 'Just As I Am (I Come Broken)' is a modern worship rendition of the classic hymn, emphasizing coming to God in complete vulnerability. The song acknowledges human brokenness, wounds, desperation, emptiness, and guilt, while celebrating that Christ's blood cleanses and pardons. It highlights the welcoming embrace of God's grace, where believers are accepted just as they are. The lyrics weave the traditional verses with a contemporary chorus that expresses a heartfelt surrender and trust in the Lamb of God. The song encourages listeners to approach God honestly, relying on His mercy and love.
Just as I am without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
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
I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God just as I am
Just as I am I would be lost
But mercy and grace my freedom bought
And now to glory in Your cross
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God just as I am
I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God just as I am
Praise God just as... I am
Just as I am
