Just as I am - Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar Solo

[照我本相]

I found this worship Gospel Hymn from Mel Bay Favorite Hymns for Acoustic Guitar by Rick Foster. It was written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835, and beautifully arranged by Chet Atkins for acoustic fingerstyle solo guitar. You can read about the history of this hymn on Wiki.

This piece is using CGDGBE tuning (6=C, 5=G) to produce extra bass boost. I have the tab link in my Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar Hymn Tabs section. 

Lyrics

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!


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!


Just as I am - though toss'd about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
-O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am - poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
-O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am - Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
-O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am - Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
-O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am - of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
-O Lamb of God, I come!
