1.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.Refrain:Take me as I am,Take me as I am,Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh,And take me as I am.2.Helpless 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. [Refrain]3.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. [Refrain]4.I bow before thy mercy seat,Behold me, Savior, at thy feet;Thy work begin, thy work complete, And take me as I am. [Refrain]5.If 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. [Refrain]6.And 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. [Refrain]
