Today’s song focus :

Nothing But The Blood

 

1 John 1:7 (NASB95)              

 

“but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light,

we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

 

A popular Baptist preacher and educator during the mid to late 19th century, Robert Lowry provided many texts and tunes for the hymns coming from the United States. Noted as a classical gospel song, it takes the main theme of the blood of Jesus and carries it thru the entire song, driving home its importance in the gospel message. Like David in some of the Psalms, he used the call-response pattern in the verses to engage the singer.

 

Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow

No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus

 

We need to wake up and realize that it was for OUR SIN that Jesus shed His blood to provide the ultimate sacrifice. There is NOTHING that we could ever have done to restore our relationship with Father God. It is His precious blood that washes away our sin and makes us whole again. Thank Him for that gift today!

Nothing But The Blood

 
  1. 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.
  2. For my pardon, this I see,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    For my cleansing this my plea,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  3. Nothing can for sin atone,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    Naught of good that I have done,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  4. This is all my hope and peace,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    This is all my righteousness,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  5. 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.
  6. Glory! Glory! This I sing—
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
    All my praise for this I bring—
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
