Nothing But The Blood Arr: Brothers of the Empty Tomb
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. For my pardon, this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my cleansing this my plea, 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
(Chorus) Glory! Glory! This I sing, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. All my praise for this I bring, 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. (Chorus)
10,000 Reasons Praise to the Lord, the Almighty Our God
