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.
