Just As I Am Story Behind The Hymn

"Just As I Am" is a well-known hymn, written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835, first appearing in the Christian Remembrancer, of which Elliott became the editor in 1836. The final verse is taken from Elliott's Hours of Sorrow Cheered and Comforted (1836). Billy Graham converted to Christianity in 1934 in a revival meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, led by evangelist Mordecai Ham hearing the altar call song "Just As I Am". This song became an altar call song in the Billy Graham crusades in the latter half of the twentieth century. Graham used the title of the hymn as the title of his 1997 book - Just As I Am: The Autobiography of Billy Graham.[9] Michael W. Smith sang the song in a tribute to Graham at the 44th GMA Dove Awards.

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

Your accent is strong, but the message is stronger! Thank you for this wonderful message of the power of God and how He used one woman in His mighty plan to bring so many followers to Him. I found that by closing my eyes I heard you clearly. The message of God’s plan and His mighty works through the weakest and smallest of us is a testimony to His greatness. Praise God for this woman and the message which still resonates with sinners today. Just as I am, in my sin and my weakness, God has a purpose for me! Amen! 🙏

Salvation to the dying man, and to the rising God."As it says in zechariah 13:1."On That Day A Fountain Will Be Opened To The House Of David And The Inhabitants Of Jerusalem, To Cleanse Them From Sin And Impurity.This prophecy was fulfilled when our savior died on the cross.Till then the fountain has been flowing over and over,but has it being used for the purpose for what it has been sent to flow...?There comes a day when this fountain shall stopped flowing.Before that tragic day let's take a drink from this fountain and be saved to sin no more.Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die.

[@rameshkannan6973]

Horrible accent. Lovely message.

The world is full of accents. Yours is just one of them-a drop in the ocean. Who died and called yours perfect. Just stick with your kind of perfection and let others be.
