Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r

Revised version:

1. Have you ever asked the Lord to cleanse your sin?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Have you put your faith in Him and let Him in?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
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?

2. Have you e'er received the grace that pardons sin?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Have you, by the Savior's death, gained peace within?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your head be worthy of a crown most bright?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

4. Now for sinners flows the fount of Calvary;
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Dirty garments should not on your body be!
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Question: Is it accurate to say that the blood cleanses our soul?

Answer: One of the hymns we sing refers to the "soul-cleansing blood." The redeeming blood cleanses us from any sin or defilement. It is probably better to avoid using this term in ordinary talk, though I would not say that it is wrong. The soul means the self. The blood does cleanse us from our sins, but we do not need to call it the "soul-cleansing" blood. In our writings we try to stay away from any questionable terminology. We don't condemn what others use, but we don't necessarily adopt their terms either.
