Washed Away

There has been a great exchange, and I am truly blessed

Christ gave his life upon the tree to give me righteousness

He became our sin that day upon that rugged cross

He bled and died, was crucified to take on all my loss

He washed my sins away, Jesus washed my sins away

I have confessed now I am blessed

He washed my sins away

Amazing love how can it be? This supernatural trade

A perfect  spotless lamb of God upon an altar laid

There He would be my substitute , this alone would be enough

To stay the very wrath of God because of divine love

He washed my sins away, Jesus washed my sins away

I have confessed now I am blessed

He washed my sins away

Oh the deep deep sacrifice, oh this gift of grace

He put my sin to death with Him as he died in my place

So now I reckon I am dead to sin, no prisoner to its woes

By the power of resurrected life my Savior He arose

He washed my sins away, Jesus washed my sins away

I have confessed now I am blessed

He washed my sins away

Now God  has justified His own and doing so is just

For in this mighty work of grace the lost sheep come to trust

He has become our ransom, by His stripes we are healed

Now to live is Christ and to die is gain By His Spirit we are sealed

He washed my sins away, Jesus washed my sins away

I have confessed now I am blessed

He washed my sins away
