Lyrics

Helpless I come to Je­sus’ blood,
And all my­self resign;
I lose my weak­ness in that flood,
And ga­ther strength divine.

Refrain

My soul will ov­er­come by the blood of the Lamb,
My soul will ov­er­come by the blood of the Lamb;
Overcome, ov­er­come,
Overcome by the blood of the Lamb.

’Tis Je­sus gives me life with­in,
And nerves me for the fray;
He spoiled the hosts of death and sin,
And took their pow’r away.

Refrain

Tho’ clouds of con­flict hide my view,
And foes are fierce and strong,
In Je­sus’ name I’ll strug­gle thro’,
And en­ter Heav’n with song.
