Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
I wish there were some wonderful place called the Land of Beginning Again
Where all our mistakes, and all our heartaches and all our selfish griefs
Could be cast like a shabby old coat at the door and never be put on again.
