I Am Leaving
Nona Marie and the Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Fightings within and fears without
Just as I am, poor, wretched and 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, Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
Because Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone
O Lamb of God, 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
The lyrics of "Just As I Am" by Nona Marie and the Choir are a message of surrender and acceptance to God. The song talks about how one can come to God without perfection but come as they are, with all of their weaknesses and faults. And just as one comes, God promises to receive them, pardon them, cleanse and relieve them.
The first stanza starts with "Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me." This line is a recognition that there is nothing that one can do to earn God's favor or forgiveness, but it's only through Jesus' blood, which was shed on the cross, that we have access to salvation. The second and third stanzas express the inner struggles that one can face in their walk with God and how despite these challenges, they can still come to God for help. The fourth stanza talks about God's promise to welcome, pardon, cleanse, and relieve us because of our faith in Him. The fifth stanza speaks about how God's love breaks down every barrier, and the last stanza ends with the affirmation of the depth, length, breadth and height of God's love which we experience here on earth and beyond.
Overall, the lyrics of the song encourage the listener to accept themselves and trust in God's love and mercy without any reservations or hesitation.
