Gordon D. Fee once said, “Show me a church's songs and I'll show you their theology.”
What songs we sing matter. So we need to recheck the hymn's words before we sing. We need to test whether we sing hymns based on sound doctrine or not.
Which is written and sung by Robert
Lowry (1876)
1. What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness the firstborn
of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth, To him, who loves us and has freed
us from our sins his blood.
1
peter 1:18-19 knowing that you were ransomed
from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable
things such as silver or gold, but with
the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without
blemish or spot.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
1
John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the
light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If
we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
o
Refrain:
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
Psalms 51:7 “Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I
will be whiter than snow.” God takes our sins and washes them white as snow.
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let
us reason together,” Says
the Lord, “Though
your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
No
other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2.
For my
pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Hebrews 9:15-22 And for this
reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who
are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For
where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be
the death of the testator. For a testament is in
force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator
lives. Therefore not even the first covenant was
dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken
every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the
blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book itself and all the
people, saying, “This is the blood of the
covenant which God has commanded you.” Then likewise he sprinkled
with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. And
according to the law almost all things are purified with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s
grace
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Psalms 51:7 “Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I
will be whiter than snow.” God takes our sins and washes them white as snow.
3.
Nothing
can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
1
Peter 2:24 He
himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and
live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Titus
3:5 He
saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to
his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Ephesians
2:8-10 For
it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves;
it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can
boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
4.
This
is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my
righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Romans 4:1-8 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, tour forefather according to the flesh? For
if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about,
but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham
believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to
the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And
to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is
counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the
blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are
forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will
not count his sin.”
5.
Now by
this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Revelation
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Now by this I’ll reach my
home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Philippians3:20-21
But our
citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power
that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
6.
Glory!
Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Revelation 5:8-14 And when he had
taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell
down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden
bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And
they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you
purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language
and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve
our God,
and they will reign[a] on the earth.”
Then I looked
and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten
thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living
creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were
saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and
wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and
on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them,
saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to
the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and
power,
for ever and ever!”
The four living creatures said,
“Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
