[Amy:]
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.
[Amy:]
What can wash away my sin?
[Amy and Vince:]
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
[Vince:]
What can make me whole again?
[Amy and Vince:]
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
[Amy, Vince and background vocals:]
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
[Amy:]
For my pardon, this I see,
[Amy and Vince:]
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
[Vince:]
For my cleansing, this my plea,
[Amy and Vince:]
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
[Amy, Vince and background vocals:]
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
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.
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
