Sojourn Music's song is a confession of human sinfulness and a declaration of salvation by grace alone. The lyrics acknowledge that no good comes from within and that salvation is not earned by works but given through God's mercy. The repeated refrain emphasizes that hope begins with God's mercy and that souls are washed from sin by the water and blood of Christ. The song reflects on the core Christian doctrine of justification by faith, pointing to the Father's grace abounding through His Son. It is a humble, worshipful meditation on redemption and the cleansing power of Jesus' sacrifice.

Submit Lyrics

Lord, we confess our many faults

And how great our guilt has been

Foolish and vain were all of our thoughts

No good could come from within

BUT BY THE MERCY OF OUR GOD

ALL OF OUR HOPES BEGIN

AND BY THE WATER AND THE BLOOD

OUR SOULS ARE WASHED FROM SIN

OUR SOULS ARE WASHED

It's not by the works of righteousness

Which our own hands have done

But we are saved by our Father's grace

Abounding through His Son

BUT BY THE MERCY OF OUR GOD

ALL OF OUR HOPES BEGIN

AND BY THE WATER AND THE BLOOD

OUR SOULS ARE WASHED FROM SIN

OUR SOULS ARE WASHED

Oh we are saved by our Father's grace

Abounding through His Son

But by the mercy of our God

All of our hopes begin

And by the water and the blood

Our souls are washed

From sin

The Water and the Blood
