I PLEAD THE MERITS OF THE BLOOD
Don Fortner
(Tune:
When I Survey #118 LM)
Remember,
Lord, the blood and sweat
Of Him
who more than paid my debt.
Remember
Christ upon the tree,
And now
be merciful to me.
Remember how that Jesus bled
In this
poor, guilty sinner's stead.
He bore
Your wrath and curse for me
In His
own body on the tree.
A
perfect righteousness He wrought,
And by
His blood my pardon bought,
So that
His righteousness might be
By
grace imputed now to me.
I plead the merits of the blood
Of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The
sinner's Substitute is He,
A mighty Substitute for me!
