I am
Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy Blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidds't me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come
Just as I am, just as I am
Just as I am, 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, just as I am
Just as I am, I come

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea all I need, in Thee to find
O Lamb of God, I come
Just as I am, just as I am
Just as I am, 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
Just as I am, just as I am
Just as I am, I come

Just as I am Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come
Just as I am, just as I am
Just as I am, I come

Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove
Here for a season, then above
O Lamb of God, I come




Just as I am, just as I am
Just as I am, I come

Oh my goodness soooo beautiful it brought me to tears …. Happy heartfelt tears ✨ I’ve been wanting a tattoo on my wrist saying I AM and then I hear this song and I’ve got goosebumps now ❤ the universe is placing all this beauty before me
I’ve completely turned my life around the past 5 years and my spiritual awakening and meditation and yoga and exercise self love have replaced my old ways of dealing with life such as excessive smoking and drinking and drugs (cocaine) unhealthy relationships and friendships
4 years smoke and drug free and drinks only on special occasions
I AM the light of my soul
I AM beautiful
I Am bountiful
I AM bliss
I AM
I AM 🙏❤️🙌

These are the verses of Anand Sahib which Sat Darshan sings during the last part of the song

Raamkalee mehlaa teejaa anand

Ik-onkaar satgur parsaad.

Anand bha-i-aa mayree maa-ay satguroo mai paa-i-aa.

Satgur ta paa-i-aa sahj saytee man vajee-aa vaadhaa-ee-aa.

Raag ratan parvaar paree-aa sabad gaavan aa-ee-aa.

Sabdo ta gaavhu haree kayraa man jinee vasaa-i-aa.

Kahai naanak anand ho-aa satguroo mai paa-i-aa.

Ay man mayri-aa too sadaa rahu har naalay.

Har naal rahu too man mayray dookh sabh visaarnaa.

Angeekaar oh karay tayraa kaaraj sabh savaarnaa.

Sabhnaa galaa samrath su-aamee so ki-o manhu visaaray.

Kahai naanak man mayray sadaa rahu har naalay.
