Lyrics
Come every soul that sin has oppressed
Come, all individuals burdened by sin's oppression
There's mercy there's mercy in Jesus
There is mercy available in Jesus
Come trade your guilt for his righteousness
Come exchange your guilt for his righteousness
There's grace oh there's grace found in Jesus
There is grace, abundant grace, found in Jesus
There's mercy and grace found in Jesus
Emphasizes the presence of both mercy and grace in Jesus
His blood is enough
Emphasizes the sufficiency of Jesus' blood for redemption
His blood is enough
Reiteration of the sufficiency of Jesus' blood for salvation
No one has to earn his forgiveness
Stresses that forgiveness from Jesus is not earned but freely given
Don't stand far away in pride or in shame
Advises against standing apart due to pride or shame but rather to trust solely in Jesus
Just trust only trust now in Jesus
Encourages trust in Jesus alone for salvation
Once bound by the law now we freely obey
Previously constrained by religious laws, now freely following Jesus
There's rest oh there's rest now in Jesus
Assurance of finding rest in Jesus
No shame in this life and no fear of the grave
No shame in this life and no fear of death because of Jesus
There's peace yes there's peace now in Jesus
Peace is found in Jesus
Jesus Jesus how I trust him
Expresses trust in Jesus and reliance on him
How I've proved him o'er and o'er
Personal testimony of experiencing Jesus' faithfulness repeatedly
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
Reiteration of trust in Jesus' significance
Oh for grace to trust him more
Desire for more grace to trust Jesus further
