I’ll Fly Away, Be Thou My Vision, and Are You Washed in the Blood?

For Ricky's first time leading worship he played I’ll Fly Away, Be Thou My Vision, and Are You Washed in the Blood?. The background to him leading is special. On Saturday afternoon I learned that there was no one to lead music on Sunday. We both looked at Ricky, but he's only 14 and has never even led a small group before. Ricky surprisingly said he was willing. Our hearts were filled with joy to watch him and sing with him. It's extra special thinking about how he wasn't even two years old yet when we moved to Washington and started attending WCC! What a gift to watch him grow in the same church family.

00:00 Here are the songs:
00:09 I’ll Fly Away
02:20 Be Thou My Vision
05:21 Are You Washed in the Blood?

Here are the lyrics...

I’ll Fly Away 554

[Verse 1]
Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, O glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away

[Verse 2]
When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Just a few more weary days, and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away

[Chorus]

Be Thou My Vision

[Verse 1]
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

[Verse 2]
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee, and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

[Verse 3]
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

[Verse 4]
High King of heaven, my vict’ry won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Are You Washed in the Blood

[Verse 1]
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb
Are you fully trusting in his grace this hour
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb

CHORUS
Are you washed(are you washed)
In the blood(in the blood)
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb

[Verse 2]
Are you walking daily by the Savior's side
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When the bridegroom cometh will your robes be white
Pure and white in the blood of the lamb
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright
And be washed in the blood of the lamb

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the lamb
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean
Oh be washed in the blood of the lamb

[Chorus]
