***Give a great old hymn by Charles Wesley any day.***
AMEN!
Arise, my soul arise! Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears: Before the throne my Surety stands, Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands.
He ever lives above for me to intercede; His all redeeming love, His precious blood to plead: His blood atoned for all our race, His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary: They pour effectual prayers, They strongly plead for me: "Forgive him, oh, forgive! they cry, Forgive him, oh, forgive! they cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"
The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One; He cannot turn away The presence of His Son: His Spirit answers to the blood, His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God.
My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child- I can no longer fear: With confidence I now draw nigh, With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba, Father," cry.
