Selah performs the classic hymn 'There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood,' written by William Cowper. The song centers on the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice, using the imagery of a fountain flowing from Immanuel's veins to wash away sin. It references the dying thief who found redemption and expresses personal faith in that saving grace. The lyrics emphasize that redeeming love remains the believer's theme throughout life. This hymn is a meditation on atonement, forgiveness, and the transformative effect of Jesus' blood, drawing from biblical themes of purification and mercy.

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
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
Song By William Cowper
