THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED FOR ME
Don Fortner
(Tune: Just As I Am #249
LM)
The
blood that Jesus shed for me
Upon the cross of Calvary
Was
infinite in merit, and
Satisfied
the law's just demands.
The
blood that Jesus shed for me
Has
purchased peace and liberty.
It
purged away my guilt and sin,
And
from the curse my soul redeemed!
The
blood that Jesus shed for me
Intercedes
in heaven for me,
Upon
the grounds of truth and grace,
In
strict accord with righteousness.
The
blood that Jesus shed for me
Will in the day of judgment be
The
only thing that I will own,
When
justice cries, "What have you done?"
The
blood that Jesus shed for me
Will be
what still amazes me,
When,
with God's saints in heav'n above;
I perfectly adore His love!
