Verse 1

To the sinners ears
It may sound strange
That freedom could be found
Through death and pain
Why sinless perfection
Took the blame
But hallelujah

Verse 2

For our pardon
It would take the cross
Salvation paid for
At the highest cost
Our redemption gained
At Heaven's loss
Oh hallelujah

Chorus

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood

Verse 3

There is nothing
Strong enough to stand
Against what love has done
With outstretched hands
For now salvation flows
For every man
Oh hallelujah

Verse 4

And whosoever calls
Upon this name
Will find their guilt and burden
Rolled away
They'll rise up to their feet
Forever changed
Singing hallelujah

Chorus

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood

Bridge 1

Every chain and fetter broken
Just one drop
Can make us clean
There is nothing
It can't rescue and redeem

Bridge 2

It has triumphed over darkness
Crushing every enemy
Bringing healing
Bringing freedom bringing peace

Chorus

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood

Refrain

Oh the blood of Jesus
