Nothing But The Blood

 

"Yet now has Christ reconciled you to God,
in the body of His flesh through death, in order
to present you holy and faultless and irreproachable
in His Father's presence."
Colossians 1:22

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

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.

Nothing can for sin atone,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus:

Naught of good that I have done,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

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.

Glory! Glory! This I sing-

Nothing but the blood of Jesus,

All my praise for this I bring-

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
