Thinking of the hymn 'Nothing but the Blood of Jesus'. It's a shocking truth, but it IS truth.
Story behind the song
I've been thinking about the traditional hymns, and want to write hymns that are more upbeat. Something more than emotional worship, but songs of truth and worship.
Lyrics
Only the blood of Jesus,
Set us free.
Only the Spirit of God,
Can help us see.
And I hear Ancient of Days,
Say the Sons are Free!
So the Sons are Free!
Only the Word of God,
Who came to earth.
Only the Breath of God,
Gives second birth!
Only the wind of God,
Can lead you there.
To the mercy seat,
Where mercy God declares!
Only the blood of Christ,
Your life can spare!
There's mercy there!
It's only the breath of God,
That gives us life.
Our breath will return,
To Him one night,
The Lord of Life!
Only the blood of Jesus,
Set us free.
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood.
Only the blood of Jesus,
Set us free.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Only the blood of Jesus,
Set us free.
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood.
Only the blood of Jesus,
Set us free.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Only the Spirit of God,
Can help us see.
And I hear Ancient of Days,
Say the Sons are Free!
So the Sons are Free!
