76. Would You Be Free (There is Power in the Blood)

1 Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood.
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Refrain:
There is pow’r, pow’er, wonder-working pow’r
in the blood of the Lamb;
there is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
in the precious blood of the Lamb.

2 Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There's pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood.
Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide.
There's wonderful pow’r in the blood. [Refrain]

3 Would you do service for Jesus your king?
There's pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood.
Would you live daily his praises to sing?
There's wonderful pow’r in the blood. [Refrain]
