In the blood shed for me,
I have been washed from sin;
But to be free from dross,
Still, I would enter in.
Refrain:
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
Into the crimson flood;
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
Under the precious blood.
Day by day, hour by hour,
Blessings are sent to me;
But for more of His power,
Ever my prayer shall be.
Refrain
Near to Christ I would live,
Following Him each day;
What I need, He will give,
So then with faith I pray.
Refrain
Now I have peace, sweet peace,
While in this world of sin;
But to pray I’ll not cease,
Till I am pure within.
Refrain
In Thy Word let me find
All that Thou hast for me.
Teach me, Lord, line by line,
All of Thy truth to see.
Refrain
Judgment day now has come
Shelter to us He brings.
We abide in His love
Under His holy wings.
