Peter Paul Rubens - "The Raising of the Cross - 1 John 1:7-9 |
Hi!
As I've mentioned before—when I was young my family and I attended a little Baptist Church in a steep hillside neighborhood in the small mountain town where we lived.
As I recall we might only have 20 or 30 people at any given service—but attending there has definitely been burned into my memories.
We always sang before the sermon and were led by the pastor accompanied by someone on piano—and on rare occasions someone would join in on big ol' draw-bar organ.
Looking back now I realize that some of those musicians were very talented.
--------------------------------
Anyway—we had little song-books that had the words to a lot of old hymns—and sometimes I'll find one of them running through my mind.
Recently I thought about the old hymn Nothing But The Blood—so I went searching for a version of it to share here.
Wow! Was I rewarded!!
It takes what I remember as a quiet old hymn—and gives it a marvelous, Spirit-filled flare! My little, reserved childhood church didn't do it anything like this.
: )
Performed by Benjamin Cone, III & "Worship" — it takes the song and adds an AWESOME Gospel groove and full throated vocals!

Nothing But The Blood - Lyrics
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
How precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
It's nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught < also meaning nothing) of my good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
How precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
It's nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Break-down:
(Oh! The blood!)
Oh! The blood!
(Oh! The blood!)
Oh! The blood!
(Oh! The blood can save me!)
(Oh! The blood!)
It washes me!
(Oh! The blood!)
It heals me!
(Oh! The blood!)
It saved me!
(Oh! The blood can save me!)
Repeats with variations
Female singer:
Ben if you allow me,
Let's talk about this blood of Jesus,
I just want to let the world know
How precious His blood is!
Oh! On Friday
He died on Calvary
Shed His blood,
Yes He did
Oh! Just for me
Oh! I've been washed,
I know I've been washed..........

Thanks so much for stopping by!
May God Richly Bless you!
Jesus is LORD!
Time is growing short!
Seek Him!

Romans 10:9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
