Cleansing Blood

Over the past few days as I have thought about the celebration of Jesus death and resurrection, I have been remembering an experience I had a number of years ago during a church service.  As we sang about the cross and the shed blood of Jesus, I saw a "vision" of Jesus hanging on the cross.  He looked down at me with eyes of incredible love.  Then as I stood there by the cross, blood began to gush out of His side and down over me.  It was like I was standing under a shower head from which His blood was flooding over me. As the blood flowed down over me I began to shine with bright white light, like the glory of God glowing forth from me.  I was washed clean by the blood and the glory of God filled me.  

  1. NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
  2. by Robert Lowry

  3. What can wash away my sin?
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    What can make me whole again?
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
    • Refrain:
      Oh! precious is the flow
      That makes me white as snow;
      No other fount I know,
      Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  4. For my pardon, this I see,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    For my cleansing this my plea,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  5. Nothing can for sin atone,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    Naught of good that I have done,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  6. This is all my hope and peace,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    This is all my righteousness,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
  7. Now by this I’ll overcome—
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    Now by this I’ll reach my home—
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
