G               D         G
Just as I am without one plea
     D         C         Am  D   G
But that thy blood was shed for me
      G                   C        Am
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee
    G       Em    C    D  G
Of Lamb of God I come, I come...
     G                    Em

Forgiveness for their sins
 C                 Bm

               Am          D
And they're struggling to win
     C                                G
The time is come to give them to the Lord
  C              D         G

Thanking God they've come
   G                             Em
An old man is standing there in tears
   C                          G                  D
Giving up a part of him that he's held back for years
