By the blood on the cross of Calvary
Meter: 10.10.10.10. & Ref.
Scripture: Luke 17:15
By the blood on the cross of Calvary
I am saved by His sacrifice for me;
But I longed for a richer, deeper flow,
The fullness of His blessing I was hungry to know.
Above the world I’m living,
My best to-Jesus giving,
I’m happy in freedom that He to me hath giv’n;
The word that He hath spoken
Has ev'ry fetter broken,
And every moment of life’s a blessing from heav’n.
Joy is mine from the fountain head of love,
Gift divine that I prize all else above;
Peace I knew that I never thought could be,
'Twas when His Spirit gave the word of freedom to me.
Would you know all the fullness of your Lord?
Would you dwell in the riches of His word?
Now believe ev'ry promise made is true,
Accept the blessed freedom which He offers to you.
