Isaiah 1:18
A SONG A DAY, January 3, 2020
“Are You Washed in the Blood?”
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Refrain:
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Elisha A. Hoffman has given us these words based on the word of Isaiah.
“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.”
In this hymn, Hoffman asks three questions: Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power—are you washed in his blood? Are you fully trusting in his grace? When he comes again will your robes be white? The last verse is an exhortation: “Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!”
I am confident that most—if not all—of my readers have been to Jesus in faith and baptism. The question of the hour is “Are you trusting in his grace?” in contrast to trusting in our own goodness.
