Just As I Am - verse 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.

This second verse of Elliot’s song, again, is rich. The writer realizes that there need not be a delay in coming to the Savior, thinking that we can remove the darkness from our lives. Rather, coming to Jesus just as we are, spots and all, is ok because through His blood, He is able to cleanse us. Praise God for His cleansing!

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
