What Do We Believe?

 What Do We Believe?

 

In all her sickness and frailties, Charlotte Elliot wrote a poem because she felt she had nothing to offer to her church, no benefit to anyone.

 

"Just As I Am, without one plea,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,

Oh, Lamb of God, I come..."

 

C.S. Lewis found belief in Jesus as the Son of God.

He finally knew in his soul that indeed Jesus was just who He said He was! He realized that God calls us to Him "just as we are".

 

Billy Graham closed each meeting with an invitation and the song, Just As I Am.

1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

4.  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, I come.

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

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

 

He covers us with HIS righteousness. Praise God.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
