THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED FOR ME

Don Fortner

(Tune: Just As I Am #249 LM)

The blood that Jesus shed for me

Upon the cross of Calvary

Was infinite in merit, and

Satisfied the law's just demands.

The blood that Jesus shed for me

Has purchased peace and liberty.

It purged away my guilt and sin,

And from the curse my soul redeemed!

The blood that Jesus shed for me

Intercedes in heaven for me,

Upon the grounds of truth and grace,

In strict accord with righteousness.

The blood that Jesus shed for me

Will in the day of judgment be

The only thing that I will own,

When justice cries, "What have you done?"

The blood that Jesus shed for me

Will be what still amazes me,

When, with God's saints in heav'n above;

I perfectly adore His love!
