Author: Edgar Lewis Hymnal: Sunshine No. 2 #19 (1904) First Line: I've been to Jesus for a heart like snow Refrain First Line: O the blood, the blood, my only plea Lyrics: 1 I’ve been to Jesus for a heart like snow,
The blood, the blood, my only plea;
Abiding where the living waters flow,
The blood, the blood, it cleanseth me.
Refrain:
O the blood, the blood, my only plea,
The blood of Jesus cleanseth me,
O the blood the blood, my only plea,
Hallelujah, it cleanseth me.
2 The stains of evil have been washed away,
The blood, the blood, my only plea;
I live for Jesus, and His word obey,
The blood, the blood, it cleanseth me. [Refrain]
3 Instead of striving I have perfect peace,
The blood, the blood, my only plea;
From chains of evil I have found release,
The blood, the blood, it cleanseth me. [Refrain]
4 I’m bound for glory, I would dwell up there,
The blood, the blood, my only plea;
‘Tis not by merit that its joys I’ll share,
The blood, the blood, it cleanseth me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I've been to Jesus for a heart like snow]
