MercyMe's rendition of 'There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood' is a classic hymn that celebrates the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice. The song uses the metaphor of a fountain flowing from Immanuel's veins to symbolize the blood shed on the cross, which washes away sin and guilt. It references the story of the dying thief who found redemption, emphasizing that no one is beyond forgiveness. The lyrics express personal faith and a commitment to proclaim redeeming love until death. This hymn draws from biblical themes of atonement and salvation, particularly the imagery of blood as a purifying agent found in passages like 1 John 1:7.

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
Away
Away
Wash all my sins away
E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Wash all my sins away
Wash all my sins away
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
