Nothing but...

Have you ever heard that song...Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

I sang it last night, I think it may have revolutionized my life. Last night it finally made sense...there is nothing I can do that has not been done for me already. I am so not worthy. Jesus made me worthy and I can not accomplish what He has already done. I am almost 32 years old and I am not sure I really understood forgiveness until last night--Good Friday 2005. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. I watched the Passion yesterday--and just like the first time I saw it I wept when He fell and his mother ran to Him and said, "I am here." A broken, bleeding, destroyed Jesus responds, "Look mother, I make all thing new." Indeed, he has made all thing new.

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 flowThat 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. 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. 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. Glory! Glory! This I sing—Nothing but the blood of Jesus,All my praise for this I bring—Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
