I PLEAD THE MERITS OF THE BLOOD

Don Fortner

(Tune: When I Survey #118 LM)

Remember, Lord, the blood and sweat

Of Him who more than paid my debt.

Remember Christ upon the tree,

And now be merciful to me.

Remember how that Jesus bled

In this poor, guilty sinner's stead.

He bore Your wrath and curse for me

In His own body on the tree.

A perfect righteousness He wrought,

And by His blood my pardon bought,

So that His righteousness might be

By grace imputed now to me.

I plead the merits of the blood

Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The sinner's Substitute is He,

A mighty Substitute for me!
