Isaac Watts
Thy Blood Alone
[Verse 1]
Lord, I am vile, conceived in sin
And born unholy and unclean
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts the race and taints us all

[Verse 2]
Soon as we draw our Infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death
Thy law demands a perfect heart
But we're defiled in every part

[Chorus]
Jesus, my God, Thy blood alone
Hath pow'r sufficient to atone
Thy blood can make me white as snow
No sacrifice could cleanse me so

[Verse 3]
Behold I fall before Thy face
My only refuge is Thy grace
No outward forms can make me clean
The leprosy lies deep within

[Verse 4]
No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast
Nor hyssop-branch, nor sprinkling priest
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea
Can wash the dismal stain away
[Chorus]
Jesus, my God, Thy blood alone
Hath pow'r sufficient to atone
Thy blood can make me white as snow
No sacrifice could cleanse me so

[Verse 5]
While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest nor ease
Lord, let me hear Thy pard'ning voice
And make my broken bones rejoice

[Chorus]
Jesus, my God, Thy blood alone
Hath pow'r sufficient to atone
Thy blood can make me white as snow
No sacrifice could cleanse me so
Jesus, my God, Thy blood alone
Hath pow'r sufficient to atone
Thy blood can make me white as snow
No sacrifice could cleanse me so
