The Cleansing Wave
Hymn by Phoebe Palmer 1871
1) Oh! now I see the crimson wave. The fountain deep and wide;
Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save, Points to His wounded side.
Refrain: The cleansing stream, I see, I see!
I plunge, and oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh! praise the Lord, it cleanseth me. It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.
2) I see the new creation rise, I hear the speaking blood;
It speaks! polluted nature dies! Sink 'neath the cleansing flood.
refrain
3)I rise to walk in heav'n's own light Above the world and sin.
With heart made pure, and garments white, And Christ enthroned within.

There's just something {tingly-in-your-tummy} exciting how an old hymn can speak words so clearly applicable to your life today. Isn't that amazing?
