This My Plea

lyricist: Fanny Crosby (1820–1915)
Composer: Bentley Ackley, 1916

What I am

Thine eye can see

Yet I come

O Lord

to Thee.

Though my sins are crim­son red

Yet for me Thy blood was shed.

This my plea

my on­ly plea:

Through Thy of­fer­ing once for me

I may cast my­self on Thee

Jesus

my Re­deem­er.

As I am

I seek Thy face

Kneeling at the door of grace;

O for­give this heart of mine

Cleanse me now and seal me Thine.

As I am

O bless­èd Lord

I be­lieve and trust Thy Word;

Let my soul no long­er roam

Take

O take the wan­d’rer home.

Lost

but found

my sins for­giv’n

Child of God and heir of Heav’n;

Lost

but found

what joy is mine!

Thou dost cleanse and keep me Thine.
