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 defence
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 earthly confidence
It’s only by Your blood
