Lyrics
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?
Are you washed 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?
Lay aside your garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb.
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean.
O, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Are you washed 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?

Meaning & Inspiration
Are You Washed in the Blood presents salvation through the familiar biblical image of cleansing by the blood of the Lamb. Each question presses toward personal trust in Christ’s grace rather than confidence in outward appearance or human merit. The recurring chorus joins cleansing, spotless garments, and whiteness like snow, creating a clear picture of forgiveness from sin and restored fellowship with God.
The hymn’s language closely reflects Revelation 7:14, where robes are washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. It also aligns with 1 John 1:7, which teaches that the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin. The final verse adds an invitation to lay aside sin-stained garments and come to the flowing fountain. In Alan Jackson’s country-gospel setting, the direct questions and repeated answer retain the song’s revival-hymn character: cleansing is found in Christ alone and received through trusting His grace.
