Your blood speaks a better word
Than all the empty claims
I’ve heard upon this earth,
Speaks righteousness for me
And stands in my defense,
Jesus, it’s Your blood

What can wash away our sins?
What can make us whole again?
Nothing but the blood,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can wash us pure as snow,
Welcomed as the friends of God?
Nothing but Your blood,
Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus

Your cross testifies in grace,
Tells of the Father’s heart
To make a way for us
Now boldly we approach,
Not by earthly confidence
It’s only by Your blood

What can wash away our sins?
What can make us whole again?
Nothing but the blood,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can wash us pure as snow,
Welcomed as the friends of God?
Nothing but Your blood,
Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus
