Just as I Am

Listen now

Description

If you have attended or seen a Billy Graham crusade meeting, you have heard this hymn, Just as I Am. It significantly predates anything Billy Graham did and has blessed people since Charlotte Elliott penned the poem. More than a blessing, it is something of an autobiography for her. Angry at God, she lashed out at those around her, spouting her bitterness on them. When talking with Dr. Cesar Malan, she found she needed to come to Jesus just as she was at that moment. It changed her life and outlook and has impacted untold numbers through this poem and hymn. Article taken from Living Stories of Famous Hymns by Ernest K. Emurian.
