The Gospel, the Gospel
Fragrance in words
The sea of my soul
Is calmed when it’s heard
Peace to the broken
The captives set free
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

The Gospel, the Gospel
My freedom explained
No more shall these garments
I’m wearing be stained
The old man is missing
The new man is free
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

Wash over me
Wash over me
Come make me clean
Wash

The Gospel, the Gospel
She’s good and she’s true
She cost quite a fortune
To make all things new
So breathe in with faith
And out with his peace
May the Gospel of Jesus
Wash over me

Chorus


Written by Jimmy Needham

Behind the Song:
"During a season of guilt and discouragement, when all I felt was condemnation, the LORD gave me this song. I based it off of a Martin Luther quote: “The Gospel is a fresh, mild and cool air in the extreme heat of summer; that is, a solace and comfort in the anguish of the conscience.””- Jimmy Needham
