The Best of All ‎#170

170. The Cleansing Blood

1 Nothing but the blood of Jesus in my soul,
Could my sins, like crimson, make as white as wool;
Nothing else could cleanse and make my fully whole,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
The cleansing blood, the purifying flood,
The precious blood of Jesus;
My prayer prevails, the blood avails,
The precious blood of Jesus.

2 Nothing else could wash away the guilt of years,
Tho’ I weep forever my repentant tears
Nothing else for cleansing to my soul appears,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Nothing but the blood can save from inbred sin,
Nothing else can sanctify and make me clean,
Nothing but the blood can keep me pure within,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Oh, the precious fountain, opened deep and wide,
Flowing, freely flowing from my Savior’s side;
Let me dwell forever ‘neath its healing tide,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]
