Just As I am

Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt, …

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;

sight, riches, healing of the mind,

yea, all I need in thee to find

These are some of the verses of popular Christian hymn “Just As I Am.”

Across Tennessee, in Christian congregations large and small, rural and urban, it’s likely this song is being sung on Sunday morning.
