Chorus:
Refrain:
Are you washed in the blood,
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
A weary land, a weary land;
Are your garments spotless?
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, Are they white as snow?
A Shelter in the time of storm. Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
2 A shade by day, defense by night, 2 Are you walking daily by the Savior's side?
A Shelter in the time of storm; Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
No fears alarm, no foes afright, Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
A Shelter in the time of storm. Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? [Chorus]
3 The raging storms may round us beat, 3 When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be
A Shelter in the time of storm; white?
We’ll never leave our safe Retreat, Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb? [Chorus]
4 O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, 4 Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
A Shelter in the time of storm; And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Be Thou our Helper ever near, There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
A Shelter in the time of storm. O be washed in the blood of the Lamb! [Chorus]
(5) AMAZING GRACE (6) AT CALVARY
1 Amazing grace (how sweet the sound) 1 Years I spent in vanity and pride,
that saved a wretch like me! Caring not my Lord was crucified,
I once was lost, but now am found, Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.
was blind, but now I see.
Refrain:
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
Mercy there was great and grace was free,
and grace my fears relieved;
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
how precious did that grace appear
There my burdened soul found liberty–
the hour I first believed!
At Calvary.
3 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come: 2 By God's Word at last my sin I learned–
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far, Then I trembled at the Law I'd spurned,
and grace will lead me home. Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.
[Refrain]
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures; 3 Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything,
he will my shield and portion be Now I gladly own Him as my King,
as long as life endures. Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.
[Refrain]
5 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
4 O the love that drew salvation's plan!
I shall possess, within the veil,
O the grace that brought it down to man!
a life of joy and peace.
O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.
6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, [Refrain]
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine.
(7) AT THE CROSS (8) BECAUSE HE LIVES
1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed 1 God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus
And did my Sov’reign die? He came to love heal and forgive
Would He devote that sacred head He bled and died to buy my pardon
For such a worm as I? An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the Chorus:
light, Because He Lives, I can face tomorrow
And the burden of my heart rolled away, Because He lives all fear is gone
It was there by faith I received my sight, Because I know He holds the future
And now I am happy all the day!
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
2 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown! 2 How sweet to hold our newborn baby
And love beyond degree! And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide This child can face uncertain days
And shut his glories in, Because Christ lives
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin. 3 And then one day I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
4 But drops of grief can ne’er repay And then as death gives way to vict'ry
The debt of love I owe: I'll see the lights of glory
Here, Lord, I give myself away, And I'll know He reigns
’Tis all that I can do.
