God so loved the world that
He gave His only son
Knowing on a cross
He’d give His life
He gave up His crown
and traded it for thorns
Pouring out a
perfect sacri - fice
Knowing on a
cross He’d save my life
He gave His only son
Knowing on a cross
He’d give His life
He gave up His crown
and traded it for thorns
Pouring out a
perfect sacri - fice
Knowing on a
cross He’d save my life

What can wash away my sin,
what can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood,
nothing but the blood
What can bring me back to life,
turn my crimson stains to white
Nothing but the blood,
oh nothing but the
blood of Jesus Christ
what can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood,
nothing but the blood
What can bring me back to life,
turn my crimson stains to white
Nothing but the blood,
oh nothing but the
blood of Jesus Christ

OUTRO
The Blood Of Jesus (Live) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song "The Blood of Jesus (Live)" by Hope Darst is a powerful testament to the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. It echoes the sentiments found in the Bible, particularly in the book of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse is mirrored in the first verse of the song, reminding us of the profound love God has for us, a love so deep that He gave His only Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
The chorus of the song resonates with the words of Hebrews 9:22, "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." The lyrics, "What can wash away my sin, what can make me whole again. Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood," emphasize the significance of Christ's blood in our redemption. It is through His blood that we are cleansed, made whole, and brought back to life.
The song's bridge, "Oh the blood still cleans, oh the blood still saves. Oh the blood still heals in wonder working ways," echoes the timeless truth found in 1 Peter 1:18-19, "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect." This verse and the song's lyrics remind us that the power of Christ's blood is not a historical event but a present reality. It continues to cleanse, save, and heal us today.
As we reflect on the song and these scriptures, we are reminded of the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. It prompts us to ask ourselves, "How does the blood of Jesus Christ impact my daily life? How does His sacrifice shape my actions, my decisions, and my interactions with others?" This reflection is not just about acknowledging the power of Christ's blood but about living in a way that reflects our gratitude for His sacrifice. It's about allowing His love to transform us from the inside out, to wash away our sins, and to bring us back to life.
So, as you listen to this song, let it be more than just a melody. Let it be a reminder of God's profound love for you, a love so deep that He gave His only Son. Let it inspire you to live a life that reflects this love, a life transformed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
