Representative Text

1 When Jesus washed my sins away my heart was glad,
I never can forget that day;
With His sweet peace and righteousness my soul was clad,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

Refrain:
Jesus washed my sins away,
Jesus washed my sins away,
And my soul sings hallelujah!
Since Jesus washed my sins away.

2 He brought me out of darkness into light divine,
And made my wounded spirit whole;
And now His wondrous love and mercy ‘round me shine,
He satisfies my longing soul. [Refrain]

3 I cast on Him my ev’ry care from day to day,
He keeps me safely by His side;
I trust Him, for He loves me, and He knows the way,
He is my constant Shield and Guide. [Refrain]
