Song Meaning of “Nothing But The Blood” by Lynda Randle
“Nothing But The Blood” by Lynda Randle is a song about the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus and the transformation it can bring to a person’s life. The lyrics call upon us to turn away from the sin and darkness we experience and put our faith in the Lord who will provide fellowship, joy and consolation. We are reminded that Jesus sacrificed His life on the cross to save us from our sins and by accepting His blood we can be cleansed and brought into a closer relationship with him. The song stresses that nothing else can provide the same level of redemption and salvation than the blood of Jesus. This message is echoed in the chorus which proclaims “Alas! And did my Savior bleed / and did my Sovereign die? / Would He devote that sacred head / for such a worm as I? / Nothing but the blood of Jesus / nothing but the blood of Jesus / nothing can for sin atone / nothing can but the blood of Jesus.” The song continues to emphasize the fact that we are all sinners but that Jesus’ death has the power to redeem us from that and bring us into a closer relationship with Him. As the song ends with a plea for us to accept His gift of salvation so as to gain eternal life, it is a reminder to us all of the power of Jesus’ blood and just how precious it is.
