I've Been Washed (In the Blood of the Nazarene)

I've Been Washed (In the Blood of the Nazarene)

Today I woke up and
something was wrong
I couldn’t see it but
the feeling was strong
An ice cold hand was
grabbing at my throat
But then I remembered
The words that He wrote

Chorus:

I’ve been washed in the blood
I’ve been cleansed by the fount
Every stain has been washed clean
Sometimes I forget it’s understood
That my sins no longer count
I’ve been washed -- by the blood --
 of the Na--zarene

When Satan comes calling 
and wants me to fall
when the guilt is overwhelming
and my faith is to small
The Spirit inside is a comfort to me
each time that I feel lost
Little by little He beckons me
to trust in that old rugged cross 

Chorus:

I’ve been washed in the blood
I’ve been cleansed by the fount
Every stain has been washed clean
Sometimes I forget it’s understood
That my sins no longer count
I’ve been washed -- by the blood -- 
of the Na--zarene

Bridge:

Yes, I know that because of His cross
My sins are forgiven, I’ll never be lost 

Chorus:

I’ve been washed in the blood
I’ve been cleansed by the fount
Every stain has been washed clean
Sometimes I forget it’s understood
That my sins no longer count
I’ve been washed -- by the blood --
 of the Na--zarene

I’ve been washed -- by the blood --
 of the Na--zarene
