Just As I Am

Just As I Am was written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835, reflecting her struggle with illness and her response to the question of how a sick person could find God. She composed these words as an expression of her faith and conversion, addressing Gods unconditional acceptance. William B. Bradbury added the tune in 1849, making it widely popular in religious events, including Billy Grahams ministry.
