.NOTHING but the blood Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

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.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
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.

Glory! Glory! This I sing
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring
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.
 
 
 
This is an old old hymn that I have a vivid memory of singing all the time growing up in church. I remember sitting with my grandparents at Sunday night church, and I can still hear my sweet grandmother's voice singing it. I remember singing it from memory and not grasping the truth of the Gospel that is this song. So thankful that it is because of the blood of Jesus that I have hope, peace, and righteousness. I am whole and its the only thing that can wash away sins. I now have eternal life. It is His blood that has washed me white as snow.
 
So thankful! Hebrews 9:22 says: "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." Thankful that we don't live under the law, but are cleansed by the blood of Jesus!
