How can I be clean, pure and free of willful sin?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

How can my life be mended and be made whole again?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

 

Nothing else can cover the nakedness in me

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

This is my only pardon- I have no other plea!

I must be washed in His blood by His grace.

 

Washed in His blood by His grace

We're forgiven and meet Him face to face

There's no longer a need to plead my case

I am be washed in His blood by His grace!

 

How can I atone for what I have done?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

Who can make goodness when there is none?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

 

How can I ever hope for peace?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

How can a wicked man know sweet release?

I must be washed in His blood by His grace

 

Washed in His blood by His grace

We're forgiven and meet Him face to face

There's no longer a need to plead my case

I am be washed in His blood by His grace!
