1 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:]
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2 For my pardon this I see:
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
for my cleansing this my plea:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)
3 Nothing can for sin atone:
nothing but the blood of Jesus:
naught of good that I have done:
nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
