One of my favorite Hymns of all time.
I don't know very much about the writer of the song (William Cowper). What I do know is that he told such a beautiful story through these lyrics.
I don't look at this song as a religious piece but rather a story.... like "once upon a time" kinda story.
I close my eyes and suddenly I'm on a journey and I give the storyteller the licesnce to take me wherever.
I find myself plunging into a fountain filled with Jesus' blood and coming up clean of all shame, sin, weight and negativity.
Enjoy!
