Come, ye sinners, lost and lonely,
Jesus' blood can make you free;
For He saved the worst among you,
When He saved a wretch like me.
Chorus:
And I know, yes, I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean,
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

To the faint He giveth power,
Through the mountains makes a way;
Findeth water in the desert,
Turns the night to golden day.

In temptation He is near thee,
Holds the pow'rs of hell at bay;
Guides you to the path of safety,
Gives you grace for every day
The lyrics of Guy Penrod's song "Yes I Know" are a powerful testimony of the transformative power of Jesus' blood in the life of a sinner. The opening verse invites all sinners, lost and lonely, to come to Jesus and receive his free salvation. The claim that Jesus' blood can make us free from sin and its consequences is at the core of the Christian faith. The second part of the verse acknowledges that Jesus came to save the worst among us. This is a crucial point because it shows that no one is beyond salvation, no matter how depraved or sinful they may be. The singer identifies themselves as a wretch who was saved by Jesus, emphasizing the personal nature of their experience.
The chorus repeats the same message twice, affirming that "Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean." This is a statement of faith that has been echoed by countless believers throughout history. It expresses the belief in the power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to atone for our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The second verse is a declaration of the immense power that Jesus possesses. He is able to give power to the faint, make a way through the mountains, and provide water in the desert. These images are metaphors for the obstacles and challenges that we face in life. Jesus has the power to overcome them all and lead us to victory.
The final verse reassures the listener that Jesus is with them in times of temptation, holding the powers of hell at bay. He is our guide and protector, leading us to the path of safety and providing us with grace for every day. The song ends on a note of confidence and assurance, knowing that Jesus is with us and that his blood has redeemed us.
