Verse 1:
F C/E G/B C
I wondered how to come to You
F C/E G/B C
I did not dare believe it true
F C/E G/B Am C/E
That You regard the orphaned ones: “beloved
F G Csus4 C
daughters, worthy sons,”
F C/E G/B C
The broken and the barren too
F C/E G/B C
I heard could find some rest in You
F C/E G/B Am
What kind of love in injury’s place
C/E F G Csus4 C
Would leave instead the stain of grace
F Dm
So I come in sorrow, I come in shame
Am G
I come to the cross with my pain
Chorus:
C F G Am
Just as I am, without one plea
G/B Am F
But that Thy blood was shed for me
C/E F G Am
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
G/B C F F
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Verse 2:
The pardon that I found from sin
Spilled out from where the nails went in
My heart will ever more proclaim
I had not lived until that day
And I know there is a crown for me
Beyond where mortal eyes can see
And I don’t nod to any man
But offer me just as I am
So I come rejoicing with hands held high
And I come singing words of new life
