Washed In The Blood

     When we join together in faith with Christ and become saved, Christians are instilled to do good works.  We are always to love one another.  Good deeds are profitable for man.  Good works glorify God.  Yet, our good deeds are not what saves us.  Our deeds will always be stained with our sinful nature.   Titus 3:5 tells us, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." Then in Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."  God is the One who can wash us “white as snow.” 
     What truly saves us is the belief in the Son of God.  I can always reference back to John 3:16.  This is a scripture that is, by no means, taken out of context.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 
 

      Washed In The Blood

Oh, be washed.

Oh, be washed.
Be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
My deeds won’t save me.
My deeds won’t save me.
Be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

When I meet my Savior,

  my deeds won’t save me.
My deeds won’t save me.
They’ll go up in flames,
  sizzlin’ higher, higher, higher
  in the hot, hot fire.
Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

My deeds won’t save me.

They’ll burn, burn, burn,
  churn, churn, churn.
My deeds won’t save in the reconciling hour,
Yet, I’m washed by His cleansing power!
Oh, I'm washed!  I'm washed!
  I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb!

My deeds won’t save me,

  They’re much too stained,
  I’m so ashamed.          
They’ll go up in flames,
  sizzlin’ higher, higher, higher
  in the hot, hot fire.

They’ll burn, burn, burn,

  churn, churn, churn.
As the flames go higher
  they’ll burn, burn, burn,
  churn, churn, churn from the hot, hot fire.

Oh, be washed.

Oh, be washed.
Praise God!  I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb!
