WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS


Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.
(Isaiah 53:4-6).
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN
What can wash away my stain ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
What can make me whole again ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
Oh, precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow !
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
2
For my cleansing this I see —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
For my pardon this my plea —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
3
Nothing can for sin atone —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
Naught of good that I have done —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
4
This is all my hope and peace —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
This is all my righteousness —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
PRAY THIS PRAYERS
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to the multitude of Your tender mercy and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity and guilt and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin! For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them; my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and faultless in Your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity; my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful]. Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially]; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my guilt and iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. AMEN IN JESUS NAME.
Psalm 51:1-12
