Alan Jackson, Are You Washed In The Blood? Lyrics.

Artist: Alan Jackson
Song: Are You Washed In The Blood?
Album: Precious Memories

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
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?

[Chorus:]
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?

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

[Chorus]

Alan Jackson, I’ll Fly Away Lyrics.

Artist: Alan Jackson
Song: I’ll Fly Away
Album: Precious Memories

Some glad morning when this life is o’er,
I’ll fly away;
To a home on God‘s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away).

[Chorus]
I’ll fly away, Oh Glory
I’ll fly away;
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away).

Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away)

[Chorus]
