Nothing But The Blood

Easter, one of the ceremonious occasions, finds a special place in the calendar of events. Year by year, people following Christianity celebrate Easter with great gusto. Since Easter is a spring festival in the Northern Hemisphere, it is as colorful and vibrant as the season. Beautiful spring flowers are used to decorate the altar in the churches, where people sing songs and chant hymns in the praise of the lord. One such popular song is 'Nothing but the Blood', which depicts the significance of the blood that Jesus shed for humanity. The lyrics of the song are very touching. It says that his blood alone would wash away our sins and lead us to a world of peace and hope. Check out the lyrics of the song, in the following lines.

Nothing But The Blood

by Matt Redman

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.
