Monday's Meditation: Cleansing In The Blood

 

"The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness,
O Lord, endure forever; forsake not the works of Your own hands."
(Psalm 138:8)

O that I might now know Thy love,

The riches of Thy grace so free;

That I with all Thy saints might prove,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

There's cleansing in the blood,

There's cleansing in the blood;

Just now I claim the promise mine,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

O cleanse me from the carnal mind,

And grant that I may victor be;

And help me now, O Lord, to find

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

There's cleansing in the blood,

There's cleansing in the blood;

Just now I claim the promise mine,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

The world I now forever leave,

And consecrate myself to Thee;

I come in faith, for I believe

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

There's cleansing in the blood,

There's cleansing in the blood;

Just now I claim the promise mine,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

No more I struggle with my sin;

No more am I by Satan bound;

No more doth evil reign within,

For cleansing in the blood I've found.

There's cleansing in the blood,

There's cleansing in the blood;

Just now I claim the promise mine,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.

I'll give the glory, Lord, to Thee,

And evermore Thy praise sound;

For grace and power and victory

And cleansing in the blood abound.

There's cleansing in the blood,

There's cleansing in the blood;

Just now I claim the promise mine,

There's cleansing in the blood for me.
