There is a Fountain

 

There is a Fountain

When Jesus died upon the cross, His blood flowed. It flowed from Immanuel which means, God with us. He died in between two thieves, one of which humbled himself and praised Jesus for being perfect. We are all sinners and God doesn’t see one sinner worse than another. Paul said he was the worst of sinners, yet we are not short of sins ourselves. It is by the power of blood that ransomed us from our sins. We have been redeemed and we should all take in that kind of love and live within it daily.

Lyrics by William Cowper, arranged by Early American Melody

“There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains; Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains, and sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away; Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

Dear dying lamb, thy precious blood shall never lose its power, till all the ransomed Church of God be saved, to sin no more; Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more; Till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more.

Ever since, by faith, I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die; and shall be till I die, Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing thy power to save, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave; Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave; When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.”
