Bleeding hearts defiled by sin,
Jesus Christ can make you clean;
Contrite souls with guilt oppressed,
Jesus Christ can give you rest.
Chorus:
Sweet Redeemer from above,
Borne on wings of love.
You that mourn our follies past,
Precious hours and years laid waste,
Turn to God, Oh turn and live,
Jesus Christ can still forgive.
(Chorus)
Fainting souls in peril’s hour,
Yield not to the Tempter’s pow’r
On the risen Lord rely,
Jesus Christ now reigns on high.
(Chorus)
Jesus Christ can make you clean;
Contrite souls with guilt oppressed,
Jesus Christ can give you rest.
