Author: F. C. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14856 First Line: I knew that God in His Word had spoken Refrain First Line: The blood, the blood is all my plea Lyrics: 1 I knew that God in His Word had spoken,
The pow’r of sin can all be broken,
The heart held captive, yet be free;
Lord, is this blessing not for me?
Refrain:
The blood, the blood is all my plea,
Hallejujah! it cleanseth me;
The blood, the blood is all my plea,
Hallejujah! it cleanseth me.
2 Must I go on in sin and sorrow,
Today in sunshine, clouds tomorrow?
First I’m sinning, then repenting.
Now I’m stubborn, then relenting. [Refrain]
3 With anguish wrung, I cried,
My Lord, is there not pow’r in Jesus’ blood
To make in me a perfect cure,
To cleanse my heart and keep it pure? [Refrain]
4 Oh, yes, My love will take you in,
The blood will cleanse you from all sin,
Will wash away your guilty stains,
And cleanse, till not one spot remains. [Refrain]
5 And there I stand this very hour,
Kept by almighty keeping power;
Temptations come, the blood’s my plea,
The precious blood now cleanses me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I knew that God in His Word had spoken]
The Blood Is All My Plea
