Are Your Garments Spotless?

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Refrain:
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

            Elisha A. Hoffman, 1878

Wow! Such a clear reference to the “right clothing” offered through Christ.

In addition to the symbolism alluding to righteousness, we also see bold references to the cleansing power of the blood of the Lamb; another facet of the gem that is God’s Word.  Once again, from Genesis to Revelation the message of God does not change. Our God is Faithful and unchanging.

The cleansing power of the blood is fascinating to me as well. Ok, it’s ALL fascinating, but…(see next post “The Soul Cleansing Power of the Blood.” Tomorrow, Lord willing.)
