The Gospel – Jimmy Needham

The Gospel, the Gospel
Fragrance in words
The sea of my soul
Is calmed when it’s heard
Peace to the broken
The captives set free
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

The Gospel, the Gospel
My freedom explained
No more shall these garments
I’m wearing be stained
The old man is missing
The new man is free
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

[Chorus:]
Oh bless the Lord
Oh bless the Lord
Though my sin was black as night
Oh bless His name
I’m not the same
Your Gospel washed me white

The Gospel, the Gospel
She’s good and she’s true
She cost quite a fortune
To make all things new
So breathe in with faith
And out with his peace
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

[Chorus x2]

Oh bless the Lord
Oh bless the Lord
Though my sin was black as night
Oh bless His name
I’m not the same
Oh bless His name
I’m not the same
Oh bless His name
I’m not the same
Your Gospel washed me white
