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
