The Old Story in Song ‎#29

29. I'm Believing and Receiving

1 Sins of years are wash’d away,
Blackest stains become as snow;
Darkest night is chang’d to day,
When I to the fountain go.

Refrain:
I’m believing and receiving,
While I to the river go.
And my heart its waves are cleansing,
Whiter than the driven snow.

2 Doubts and fears are borne along
On the current’s ceaseless flow;
Sorrow changes into song,
When I to the fountain go. [Refrain]

2 Ease and wealth become as dross,
Worthless earth’s delight and show;
All my boast is in the cross,
When I to the fountain go. [Refrain]

3 Selfishness is lost in love,
Love for him whose love you know;
All my treasure is above,
When I to the fountain go. [Refrain]
