SDAH 302
In the blood from the cross,
I have been washed from sin;
But to be free from dross,
Still I would enter in.


Text
1
In the blood from the cross,
I have been washed from sin;
But to be free from dross,
Still I would enter in.
Refrain
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
Into the crimson flood;
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
Under the precious blood.
2
Day by day, hour by hour,
Blessings are sent to me;
But for more of His power,
Ever my prayer shall be.
3
Near to Christ I would live,
Following Him each day;
What I ask He will give;
So then with faith I pray.
4
Now I have peace, sweet peace,
While in this world of sin;
But to pray I’ll not cease
Till I am pure within.

When Jesus on the cross, bleeding, dying for our sins, is more precious than anything, our selfishness will be disgusted with our own selfishness. As we see our corruption we will also find in Him our only hope, and gladly surrender our will to His. (Lesson 9, 1st Quarter 2023, Managing for the Master – Thursday, “Overcoming Covetousness” 3/2/23)
