A Melody for Easter

We hit the road tomorrow bound for my sister's in Ga and we cannot get out of town fast enough!  Before I go, I am glad to have remembered to keep up my Easter blog tradition of picking and posting a song that really catches the spirit of the holiday.  This one I bookmarked last summer for this very purpose. 

 Happy Easter, y'all!

Just As I Am by Nichole Nordeman

I wondered how to come to You,

I did not dare believe it true,
 that You regard the orphaned ones:

beloved daughters, worthy sons,

The broken and the barren too,

I heard I could find some rest in You.

What kind of love in injury's place,

would leave instead the stain of grace?

So I come in sorrow and I come in shame.

I come to the cross with my pain.

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.

The pardon that I found from sin
spilled out from where the nails went in.

My heart will ever more proclaim

I had not lived until that day.

And I know there is a crown for me

beyond where mortal eyes can see

and I don't nod to any man,

but offer me just as I am.

So I come rejoicing with hands held high,

and I come singing words of new life.

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,

O Lamb of God,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

O Lamb of God, I come.
