Blood of the Lamb

When I went to the Derek Webb concert in Phoenix last December with Kristen, he sang this song called Blood of the Lamb (by Woody Guthrie). It hasn't been released on any of his albums...sad...BUT, I am so excited because it is going to be on his live dvd that comes out October 15th of this year. wohho. I can't wait.

I recently bought Billy Bragg and Wilco's Mermaid Avenue Vol. II. It is all Woody Guthrie songs that they put to music after his death. He wrote Blood of the Lamb. It is such a great song...

Blood of the Lamb
Are your garments all spotless? Are they white as the snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Is your soul all spotless? Is it clean as the snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

I am washed, yes I'm washed I am washed in the blood I'm all washed in the blood of the lamb I'm all clean I'm all spotless I'm all pure like the snow I'm all washed in the blood of the lamb

Have you laid down your burdens? Have you found peace and rest? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? I've laid down all my troubles I've found peace and rest I'm all washed in the blood of the lamb

Have you learnt to love your neighbors? Of all colors, creeds and kinds? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? I've learnt to love my peoples of all colors, creeds and kinds I'm all washed in the blood of that lamb
