NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
WHAT CAN MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Chorus:
O, PRECIOUS IS THE FLOW THAT MAKES ME WHITE AS SNOW
NO OTHER FOUNT I KNOW, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
NOTHING CAN FOR SIN ATONE, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
NAUGHT OF GOOD THAT I HAVE DONE, 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
BECAUSE HE LIVES
GOD SENT HIS SON, THEY CALLED HIM JESUS, HE CAME TO LOVE, HEAL AND FORGIVE
HE BLED AND DIED TO BUY MY PARDON; AN EMPTY GRAVE IS THERE TO PROVE MY SAVIOR LIVES
*Chorus:
BECAUSE HE LIVES, I CAN FACE TOMORROW, BECAUSE HE LIVES ALL FEAR IS GONE
BECAUSE I KNOW HE HOLDS THE FUTURE, AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING
JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES
HOW SWEET TO HOLD A NEWBORN BABY, AND FEEL THE PRIDE AND JOY HE GIVES
BUT GREATER STILL THE CALM ASSURANCE THIS CHILD CAN FACE UNCERTAIN DAYS
BECAUSE CHRIST LIVES
AND THEN ONE DAY I'LL CROSS THAT RIVER, I'LL FIGHT LIFE'S FINAL WAR WITH PAIN
AND THEN AS DEATH GIVES WAY TO VICT'RY, I'LL SEE THE LIGHTS OF GLORY
AND I'LL KNOW HE LIVES
THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
ON A HILL FAR AWAY STOOD AN OLD RUGGED CROSS, THE EMBLEM OF SUFF'RING AND SHAME
AND I LOVE THAT OLD CROSS WHERE THE DEAREST AND BEST
FOR A WORLD OF LOST SINNERS WAS SLAIN
*Chorus:
SO, I'LL CHERISH THE OLD RUGGED CROSS, TILL MY TROPHIES AT LAST I LAY DOWN
I WILL CLING TO THE OLD RUGGED CROSS AND EXCHANGE IT SOME DAY FOR A CROWN
O, THE OLD RUGGED CROSS, SO DESPISED BY THE WORLD, HAS A WONDROUS ATTRACTION FOR ME
FOR THE DEAR LAMB OF GOD LEFT HIS GLORY ABOVE TO BEAR IT TO DARK CALVARY
TO THE OLD RUGGED CROSS, I WILL EVER BE TRUE, ITS SHAME AND REPROACH GLADLY BEAR
THEN HE'LL CALL ME SOME DAY TO MY HOME FAR AWAY, WHERE HIS GLORY FOREVER I'LL SHARE
GLORIOUS DAY (LIVING HE LOVED ME)
ONE DAY WHEN HEAVEN WAS FILLED WITH HIS PRAISES,
ONE DAY WHEN SIN WAS AS BLACK AS COULD BE
JESUS CAME FORTH TO BE BORN OF A VIRGIN; DWELT AMONG MEN MY EXAMPLE IS HE
THE WORD BECAME FLESH, AND THE LIGHT SHINED AMONG US, HIS GLORY REVEALED
*Chorus:
LIVING HE LOVED ME, DYING HE SAVED ME, BURIED HE CARRIED MY SINS FAR AWAY
RISING HE JUSTIFIED FREELY FOREVER, ONE DAY HE'S COMING, O GLORIOUS DAY
ONE DAY THEY LED HIM UP CALV'RY'S MOUNTAIN, ONE DAY THEY NAILED HIM TO DIE ON A TREE
SUFFERING ANGUISH DESPISED AND REJECTED, BEARING OUR SINS MY REDEEMER IS HE
THE HAND THAT HEALED NATIONS STRETCHED OUT ON A TREE, AND TOOK THE NAILS FOR ME
ONE DAY THE GRAVE COULD CONCEAL HIM NO LONGER,
ONE DAY THE STONE ROLLED AWAY FROM THE DOOR
THEN HE AROSE OVER DEATH HE HAD CONQUERED, NOW IS ASCENDED MY LORD EVERMORE
DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM, THE GRAVE COULD NOT KEEP HIM FROM RISING AGAIN
ONE DAY THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND FOR HIS COMING, ONE DAY THE SKIES WITH HIS GLORIES WILL SHINE
WONDERFUL DAY MY BELOVED ONE BRINGING, MY SAVIOR JESUS IS MINE
O HOW I LOVE JESUS
THERE IS A NAME I LOVE TO HEAR, I LOVE TO SING ITS WORTH
IT SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC IN MY EAR, THE SWEETEST NAME ON EARTH
*Chorus:
O, HOW I LOVE JESUS, O, HOW I LOVE JESUS, O, HOW I LOVE JESUS, BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED ME
IT TELLS ME OF A SAVIOUR'S LOVE WHO DIED TO SET ME FREE
IT TELLS ME OF HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD, THE SINNER'S PERFECT PLEA
GRATITUDE
ALL MY WORDS FALL SHORT, I GOT NOTHING NEW, HOW COULD I EXPRESS ALL MY GRATITUDE
I COULD SING THESE SONGS, AS I OFTEN DO, BUT EVERY SONG MUST END AND YOU NEVER DO
*Chorus:
SO, I THROW UP MY HANDS, AND PRAISE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN
‘CAUSE ALL THAT I HAVE IS A HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH
AND I KNOW IT’S NOT MUCH BUT I’VE NOTHING ELSE FIT FOR A KING
EXCEPT FOR A HEART SINGING HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH
I’VE GOT ONE RESPONSE, I’VE GOT JUST ONE MOVE, WITH MY ARMS STRETCHED WIDE, I WILL WORSHIP YOU
COME ON MY SOUL, OH, DON’T YOU GET SHY ON ME, LIFT UP YOUR SONG
‘CAUSE YOU’VE GOT A LION INSIDE OF THOSE LUNGS, GET UP AND PRAISE THE LORD
(repeat)
