What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Ooh, ooh
For my cleansing, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my part in this, my please
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Ooh, ooh
Nothing can thy sin erase
This is all my hope and peace
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jеsus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but thе blood of Jesus
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
Oh, no other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh, oh, ooh-ooh
Ooh

💡 Song Meaning & Background

Carrie Underwood’s contemporary recording of the traditional Christian hymn "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus" celebrates the central Christian doctrine of atonement and redemption through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The song's core message emphasizes that human efforts and good works are insufficient for spiritual salvation, asserting instead that only the shed blood of Jesus can cleanse humanity from sin and restore a relationship with God. This theme directly reflects New Testament theology, drawing upon foundational biblical passages such as Hebrews 9:22, which states that "without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness," and 1 John 1:7, which affirms that the blood of Jesus cleanses believers from all sin.
