A life brought down to nothing
Marred and stained by sin
I was loaded down with sorrow, guilt and shame
Condemned by my transgressions
And imprisoned by my fears
And longing for the key to loose me from my chains
Reaching out in deseperation
I claimed the Christ of Calvary
All my sin, shame and condemnation
By His blood was washed away
Chorus:
What a sweet life, washed in the blood and fully forgiven
clothed in His righteousness headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life
You've searched both high and low
To find that healing stream
A plaze to wash away all guilt and shame
All the memories have haunted
you with deeds from yesterday
no matter where you turn
there's just more hurt and pain
but from a rugged cross two thousand years ago the answer came
Redemption and forgiveness full and free
Condemnation's power was stripped away with just one blow
for though the blood of Jesus
Every sinner is made whole
Chorus:
What a sweet life, washed in the blood and fully forgiven
clothed in His righteousness headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life, washed in the blood and fully forgiven
clothed in His righteousness headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life
What a sweet life
sweet sweet life, sweet sweet life, sweet sweet life.........
