Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

In the church we visited this morning we sang "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus" I have sang this song my entire life. I never fully understood the words until recently. I just love the words of the song, because, it truly is "nothing but the blood of Jesus". How wonderful to finally see this. I made the print bold on the verses that I absolutely love. The reason you ask, being from a works based religious background and realizing that nothing I can do can make me good enough to earn my salvation. If it could, what would have been the purpose of Christ dieing on the cross. At any rate, I am so thankful that God has chosen me to reveal this glorious truth .


What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Now by this I'll overcome
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I'll reach my home
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Glory! Glory! This I sing
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Our church service this morning was good. We enjoyed the service and the people. They were so open to our testimony. It is wonderful to be able to share what God has done in our lives.
Today we were at, New Liberty Congregational Christian Church, and next week we will be at, Spartanburg United Methodist. Please pray for our ministry.
