I Will Praise Him
Cleansing Grace: Praising Redemption in 'I Will Praise Him'
Lyrics
When I saw the cleansing fountain,
Refers to encountering a symbolic fountain representing cleansing or purification.
Open wide for all my sin
The cleansing fountain is available for everyone regardless of their sins.
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing
Following the guidance or prompting of the Holy Spirit.
When He said, Wilt thou be clean
Responding affirmatively to the Spirit's question about desiring to be cleansed.
I will praise Him! I will praise Him
Expresses a commitment to praising God.
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain
Praising Jesus, referred to as the sacrificial Lamb, for his death for sinners.
Give Him glory, all ye people
Encouraging people to give honor and worship to Jesus.
For His blood can wash away each stain
Emphasizing the power of Jesus' blood to cleanse all kinds of stains or sins.
Tho' the way seems straight and narrow
Acknowledging the challenges in following the righteous path.
All I claimed was swept away
Everything previously claimed or held dear was relinquished or removed.
My ambitions, plans, and wishes
All personal ambitions, plans, and desires were surrendered.
At my feet in ashes lay
Symbolizing humility and a surrendering of personal desires.
Then God's power upon the altar
God's power ignited a spiritual transformation within.
Of my heart was set aflame
A profound change or spiritual awakening took place.
I shall never cease to praise Him
Commitment to continuous praise for the transformative power of God.
Glory, glory to His name
Offering glory and honor to God's name for the transformation.
Blessed be the name of Jesus
Expressing gratitude for Jesus and being accepted.
I'm so glad He took me in
Thankfulness for forgiveness and acceptance by Jesus.
He's forgiven my transgressions
Personal acknowledgment of sins being forgiven by Jesus.
He has cleansed my heart from sin
Experiencing a purification of the heart from sins through Jesus.
I will praise Him! I will praise Him
Reiteration of the commitment to praise God.
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain
Praising Jesus for his sacrificial death for sinners.
Give Him glory, all ye people
Encouraging people to honor and worship Jesus.
For His blood can wash away each stain
Reiterating the cleansing power of Jesus' blood for sins.
