NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS     

 

Don Fortner

 

(Tune: Come, Thou Fount #17  87.87 D)

 

Often as my sins assail me

I look to my Savior's blood.

Nothing but the blood can cleanse me,

Give me peace, and do me good.

 

Refrain: 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

And His perfect righteousness,

Can with God give us acceptance

And assure our hearts of grace.

 

Break, my heart, in deep contrition,

(Source of every sin and vice!)

Yet for sin there's no remission,

But the blood of Jesus Christ.

 

I would ever serve my Savior,

Ever do His blessed will;

But my noblest, best endeavor

Needs to be forgiven still!

 

Savior, keep me ever clinging

To Your blood and righteousness,

Til, at last, in heaven singing

I shall magnify Your grace.
