Just As I Am

On November 7, 1918, Christian evangelist Billy Graham was born. Mr. Graham decided at the age of sixteen that he was going to dedicate his life to the church. After World War II, Graham became president of the Youth for Christ organization, and he soon began hosting rallies of his own. When media giant, William Randolph Hearst, printed articles in support of Graham, he gained national attention. Time and Life magazine soon took notice, and Graham established the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. In 1957, Graham appeared at Madison Square Garden in New York, where 2 million people attended his 16-week televised religious crusade. Graham’s popularity soared, and he went on to publish the books The Challenge (1969), The Jesus Generation (1971) and How to Be Born Again (1977). Graham has served as a religious consultant to every U.S. President since Eisenhower, and in 1996 he received the Congressional Gold Medal. The Ol'Kunnel is probably preaching to the choir however, Just As I Am is the closing music played at the Billy Graham revivals.

Music by Wiliam B. Bradbury
Just as I am, with-out one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, and wait-ing 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!
Just as I am, tho' tossed a-bout
With many a con-flict, many a doubt,
Fight-ings and fear with-in, with-out,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am--poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, heal-ing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am--Thou wilt re-ceive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse relieve;
Be-cause Thy prom-ise I be-lieve,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
