When Billy Grahm specials would come on tv,my mom would watch and i would be in my bed and i would listen to this song.im 64 yrs old now and it still touches my soul so deeply,always brings tears of joy.Thank You Jesus,Amen

This hymn truly lifts my being into God's presence. Humble and greatful, I come....❤❤

Always played during Alter calls at church when I was young, almost 60 years ago I was born again hearing it as I went forward, I don't remember ever not knowing I was a sinner and Jesus was the Savior, so I went forward many times as a very small boy feeling FATHER'S holy spirit calling me! Still my favorite song today, still brings tears of joy 😊

I gave my heart to Jesus in 1963 at age 12 at a Youth for Christ Rally in Cleveland, Ohio where a Billy Graham movie was shown and this song was sung at the end. It was the most important moment of my life - it changed it for eternity.

This song bless my soul , it's so deep, I thank God for this testimony. May her soul rest in peace

This song mightily touched my soul here where i am in East Africa. Rwanda

What a blessing to hear you speak on theses old hymns

Positively uplifting at ones lowest point....

I was raised in a Pentecostal Church and cannot remember a time that hymn was not part of my life. I was six years old when I accepted Jesus as my Savior.

This was my baptismal song

I was saved by this song at Bible camp in 1972.

amen but heb 9;28 has a version of a thought that you need to put in consideration as we wait for the coming of our saviour Jesus christ

What an amazing woman! I have been surprised lately at just how many beautiful Christian hymns were written by women in the 1800's and early 1900's. At least, in the Christian world of hymns, women were treated as equal and this helps ease my pain where, as a woman, I see the inequality between women and men every day. I just love this hymn. Thank you, Luke.

Such an emotional hymn. It touched my heart and as I wept, I stood up and accepted Jesus as my Savior. I was 11 years old. It’s so personal to me that I consider it my testimony.

That was very touching to read. God bless you.

Words that mean as much today as when written. Praise our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!

First heard and sang this hymn when I attended Billy Graham Crusade held in Singapore in late 1960s and when I accepted Jesus as my Saviour

My husband had told me. He wanted this sang at his funeral. In 2021 we did honor his wishes.

this is a very inspirational song, i have loved this song for many tears. This was Billy Ghramm's Theme sons/ love it eminencely.

"just as i am" with my many sins yet CHRIST loves me n thinks me worthy to be redeemed,oh how gracious THIS LOVE is!Hallelujah. Amen.Emmanuel.

The amazing and unchanging love of God the Father is greatly shown... which inspires any sinner to come to God and not go far or farther away from God...

Awesome song. The words are amazing and very touching. I learned about Jesus from a very young age, watching my mum down on her knees 🙏by her bedside. I love God and Jesus with my whole heart ❤ I love this hymn so much Patricia Mackay

Thank you for this video. Yes we come to Christ with nothing- i.e., as beggars. As one divine put it, "The Gospel is nothing but one beggar telling another where to find food!" Praise the LORD! 😢

In memory of my precious grandmother. Thank you!

Thank you for this, much appreciated!

I first heard this hymn in Billy Graham crusade on television.

❤️👍🙏

Just as I am without one plea I come to you O My GOD, by the blood of Jesus Christ I am cleansed, and received a new life in Christ

My memory for this song is from Dr Billy Graham's altar call

This was the altar call song at my childhood church, and I can't hear it without crying. Thank you!

A song of total surrender...giving our all to Jesus. I do remember singing this many many times. Thanks U for all U do for God's kingdom..✝️

It was the hymn playing during my stepping forward during the alter call as I accepted Jesus. April 18, 1983

I grew up down south, in the state of Georgia in the U.S., Baptist background. This song was often used as an "invitational hymn" at the end of the service, when the pastor would give altar calls for people to give their hearts to Jesus. The Holy Spirit speaks through the words even today to woo our hearts to Jesus.

Here I come just as I am, to receive You Lord

I heard this song sung by the Detty Sisters last year they did it

So relevant in this day & age when we desperately need a Christian Revival. Even those of us who call ourselves Christians need to humble our selves & surrender to God anew. Thank you Luke.

I may have heard 'Just As I Am' long before my first memory of its impact, but here is that memory. It impacted me most while watching the Gaither video "A Billy Graham Homecoming. In this video, Cliff Barrows shared his memory of a crusade held in the 50s in England. The press had published the opinion that the emotion behind "Just as I am" is what caused people to come forward to receive Christ. This greatly troubled Billy Graham, so he instructed Barrows to not sing or have the musicians play Just As I Am" until given the cue to do so. When the invitation portion of each service came, Graham instead prayed, asking The Lord to work in hearts, and for those who felt the call to come forward. To make a long story short, the hymn was not played for the 30 days of the Crusade, more than 1000 people accepted Christ and the press was forced to retract as fully as they ever do. More than a decade after hearing this, this hymn still impacts my heart in the same way: it inspires thankfulness that God has invited, accepted, forgiven and redeemed me. It also inspires a need to impact nonbelievers in the way that God has called me to help bring about their prayer of salvation.

I love this song heard in Billy Grahams crusades

A beautiful meaningful ministry -,-eternal.❤

Such a great song based on beautiful person's effort.

Luke, I can honestly say I don’t have any memory of this hymn, so hearing it today was a first. It’s so meaningful. I love hearing the History behind all these songs. Thanks.

Wow, thanks for the history, very interesting. One my favorites since 1967 Confirmation. Thanks Luke your a star. 💕💕🙌🙏

What a beautiful story I love that invitation hymn

I love this song sooo much especially this version and how it's sang. Growing up we sang it in a different melody,but this melody is the one that scoops the meaning of The Blood of Jesus and what it must represent in our lives.

My memory is of Billy Graham services, also, that would broadcast on tv as a child. I remember that “feeling” bc of this song along with apparently many others as they came to the altar…hundreds…and this made a mark on heart and in my mind. I wanted to sing this for a service and saw Mahalia did a rendition of this too💜wow!!! Thanks for the history of it

I heard this sung in Newfoundland , where my sister, Sr Pat Flynn SOS was a nun and taught in St Juliens. Was very touched by the hymn, and am still thrilled to hear it.

Sang it at Methodist Witfield alot. Love it

When Billy Graham visited Trinidad & Tobago and preached in the Savannah, Port of Spain during one of his worldwide crusades. “Just As I Am”

We were thought this song in Primary school…Although I was very young by then it has left a long lasting impact on my soul. Just as I am without one plea🙏🙏

Heard and sang in the Salvation Army at the mercy seat. Many years ago.❤

Billy graham sermons
