There is a Fountain Filled With Blood

I HAVE MADE NO THEOLOGICAL ASSERTIONS BY POSTING THIS VIDEO. I SIMPLY LIKE THE TUNE!

There is a Fountain Filled With Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me!
'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father's ears no other name but Thine.

There is something very off-putting about the way the words dribble onto the screen like some 60's B grade splatter flick.

No wonder non-Christians find us to seem vengeful and blood thirsty. It is no doubt a sad mistake, but nevertheless, Iraqi civilians can't help but wonder why they must pay for something they have no hand in. I wish we could understand how the Muslims see us. It would be quite sobering I'm sure. I pray we can see our way to ending this war and finding God's forgiveness.

For most of my videos I film myself playing but the video quality for this one was poor. So, rather than not post it, I simply decided to show words instead. I assure you, the way the words appear on the screen is not at all symbolic.

[bitherwack]

Then I suggest you leave the words white, and let them fade in and out.  Please, please, don't continue with this dripping red. Its just too sacreligious.

[ddupshaw]

ha, I hadn't planned on using such letters again.

That said, in posting videos on here I've also learned that it's impossible to please everyone and that Christians are, oddly enough, the most critical and most likely to split hairs. . .

For all blood thirsty kitsch-mongers, a few lines of doggerel to celebrate the birth of your favorite corpse.

"...There is a fountain filled with blood,

Its spraying everywhere...

It gets into my eyes and ears, my mouth and nose and hair...

The blood it dribbles down my face, and curdles on my cheek...

I wish it wouldnt flow so much, my stomach's feeling weak...

This bloodbath isn't what He meant, God's cookies now 'a blow...

An every where that Mary went, Lambs blood was sure to flow...(?)"

[ddupshaw]

1.) I think it's absurd to deem anything as 'sacrilegious.'

2.) I don't understand why everyone has taken this video so seriously. I only posted it because I like the music!!

i think it is quite meaningful to use tat way of blood dripping because it reminds us tat

1) It is very painful to die on the cross, yet Jesus willing to shed His blood for us

2) We are not to use His grace as tool but appreciate it as a gift and respond Him by showing our love towards Him, this is the only thing we can do...

3) God loves us always and His love can get us home

Peace

@ddupshaw @ddupshaw Thank you so much for this video! And I agree a trillion percent with what you say: you can't please everyone. Some people hate red; others purple; and further still, some are colour blind ;). Personally, I think the red font very befitting of the song's message "fountain filled with BLOOD". The song has absolutely nothing to do with vengeance or blood-thirstedness, but the love and mercy of God demonstrated through the blood of Jesus. I am forever grateful <3

This hymn is a real favorite. The writer, William Cowper, was Poet Laureate of England in the 18th -Century. He suffered from severe melancholia and depression, and actually lived apart from Christ for years. He wrote this hymn based off of hearing one of John Newton's sermons. They composed the Olney Hymnbook for the poor mill workers to sing to remember the sermon. Only in his last year did Cowper return to Christ, and on his death-bed he said:'Alas... I am not forsaken!"

Isn't it a wonder that to some this song is just words and music. But to others it is their song, their praise, and their life spoken out. The Lord is amazing. When I sing this song with my whole heart and mind, and with all my strength, I cry, because I know the meaning of it. The meaning of being redeem finally, victory! The precious blood of Jesus...thank you Lord for this song.

[neilards]

without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for sin

[causeytrio]

I love that fountain and I love Jesus for providing it

[causeytrio]

I thank God for that fountain of blood without it I would have no hope

[Rangerett]

Lovely piano...most wonderful message.

Thanks for posting the lyrics along with the video. I have to learn this song today and the way you put the lyrics make it look less intimidating. Thanks.
