Believing and Receiving

Representative Text

1 I am saved, yes, I’m saved! Praise the Lord, O my soul,
I have found his salvation so free;
I am washed in his blood, I have plunged in its flood:
Oh, the blood of Jesus cleanseth me.

Refrain:
I’m believing and receiving,—yes, I’m trusting in the Lord,
For I know the blood of Jesus cleanseth me;
I’m believing and receiving, yes, I’m trusting in the Lord,
For the blood of Jesus clanseth me.

2 I have laid down my heart at the foot of the cross,
Where by faith my Redeemer I see;
I will shout, for I must, Hallelujah to God!
Oh, the blood of Jesus cleanseth me. [Refrain]

3 I am saved by his grace, I am saved by his love,
Thro’ the blood he has offered so free;
And with joy I can sing, to the cross while I cling,
Oh, the blood of Jesus cleanseth me. [Refrain]

4 There is room at the fount, at the life-giving fount,
There is room, weary wand’rer, for thee;
Now the bliss that is mine may this moment be thine:
Oh, the blood of Jesus cleanseth me. [Refrain]
