Hymn:  Power in the Blood




(Click forward arrow > to play music:)



1.  Would you be free from your burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, 
power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?

There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Chorus:

There is power, power, 
wonder-working power,
In the blood ... of the Lamb;

There is power, power, 

wonder-working power,
In the precious blood of the Lamb.


2.  Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s power in the blood, 
power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide,

There’s wonderful power in the blood.

3.  Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There’s power in the blood, 
power in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow,

There’s wonderful power in the blood.

4.  Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There’s power in the blood, 
power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?

There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Scripture pertaining to above hymn:

I John 1:7 ... But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

We enter in by refusing to think on our past sins which have been paid for by Jesus' blood.  And when we are deficient and disappointed in that which we did or failed to do we must understand that no human is worthy.  The blood of Jesus is worthy.  Through Jesus we are worthy and we come to God though HIS worthiness and HIS blood which purchased us.

When we think on that we rejoice ... sorrow turns to joy when we focus on the work done by Jesus.
