Refrain: Wonderful keeping power, glorious keeping power, I’m abiding in the fountain that flows so full and free, Wonderful keeping power, glorious keeping power, The blood now cleanseth me. 2 No power have I my feet to keep Within the way, within the way; But Jesus knows my feeble frame And saves me day by day. [Refrain] 3 I cannot tell how I am saved By blood alone, by blood alone; Nor how it is my soul he keeps But this I know, ’tis done.
