Nothing but the Blood
Redemption's Harmony: Nothing but the Blood
Lyrics
What can wash away my sin?
Expressing a need for cleansing from sin.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Acknowledging that only the blood of Jesus has the power to wash away sin.
What can make me whole again?
Seeking a source to bring completeness and healing.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Affirming that only the blood of Jesus can make one whole again.
Oh, precious is the flow
Highlighting the precious nature of the blood of Jesus.
That makes me white as snow
Metaphorically describing the transformative power of the blood, making the person pure and white as snow.
No other fount' I know,
Emphasizing that there is no other source or fountain known that can accomplish this.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reiterating the exclusive reliance on the blood of Jesus for salvation and purification.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reaffirming the sole dependence on the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see
Recognizing the blood of Jesus as the means of obtaining forgiveness.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Stating that forgiveness is found solely in the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing, this my plea
Declaring the blood of Jesus as the plea for personal cleansing.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Affirming that cleansing is achieved exclusively through the blood of Jesus.
Oh, precious is the flow
Reiterating the precious and transformative nature of the blood, making the person pure.
That makes me white as snow
Continuing the metaphor of being made white as snow by the precious flow of Jesus' blood.
No other fount' I know,
Reemphasizing that there is no other known source or fount' for this transformation.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reaffirming the exclusive reliance on the blood of Jesus for purification.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reiterating the sole dependence on the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace
Declaring that all hope and peace are found in the blood of Jesus.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Affirming that the blood of Jesus is the foundation of hope and peace.
This is all my righteousness
Stating that righteousness is exclusively derived from the blood of Jesus.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Emphasizing that the blood of Jesus is the only source of righteousness.
Oh, precious is the flow
Reiterating the precious and transformative nature of the blood, making the person pure.
That makes me white as snow
Continuing the metaphor of being made white as snow by the precious flow of Jesus' blood.
No other fount' I know,
Reemphasizing that there is no other known source or fount' for this transformation.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reaffirming the exclusive reliance on the blood of Jesus for purification.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reiterating the sole dependence on the blood of Jesus.
