17. NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
-
What can wash away my stain?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus:
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
-
For my cleansing this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my pardon this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
-
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
Nought of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
-
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
He is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
-
Now by this I overcome:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
Now by this I’ll reach my home:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
