Lyrics
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 Your blood
Watch & Listen

In a world filled with endless noise and striving, Jesus offers us a truth that cuts through every doubt: His sacrifice is completely enough. His precious blood doesn't just cleanse our past mistakes; it speaks a word of grace, righteousness, and eternal peace over our lives. Because of Jesus, we are no longer distant strangers trying to earn approval, but fully forgiven friends welcomed into God's presence. Today, rest from your striving and let your heart rejoice in the quiet confidence of His finished work.
