Just as I am…

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    The poem “Just as I am” by Charlotte Elliot was mentioned in Spurgeon’s commentary when I looked up the citation in last week’s lesson Deuteronomy 4:29 “If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” I will give a few lines from the poem and the link for anyone who wants to read the whole poem. The story behind how the writer came to write the poem and the poem itself gave me such a feeling of humility. “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 – 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 – Thou wilt receive,
    Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
    Because Thy promise I believe,
    -O Lamb of God, I come!”
