14856. The Blood Is All My Plea

1 I knew that God in His Word had spoken,
The pow’r of sin can all be broken,
The heart held captive, yet be free;
Lord, is this blessing not for me?

Refrain:
The blood, the blood is all my plea,
Hallejujah! it cleanseth me;
The blood, the blood is all my plea,
Hallejujah! it cleanseth me.

2 Must I go on in sin and sorrow,
Today in sunshine, clouds tomor­row?
First I’m sinning, then repenting.
Now I’m stubborn, then relenting. [Refrain]

3 With anguish wrung, I cried,
My Lord, is there not pow’r in Jesus’ blood
To make in me a perfect cure,
To cleanse my heart and keep it pure? [Refrain]

4 Oh, yes, My love will take you in,
The blood will cleanse you from all sin,
Will wash away your guilty stains,
And cleanse, till not one spot remains. [Refrain]

5 And there I stand this very hour,
Kept by almighty keeping power;
Temptations come, the blood’s my plea,
The precious blood now cleanses me. [Refrain]
