If God / Nothing But The Blood
Song Meaning
"What shall we say to these things?" opens Casey J's medley as a genuine question, not a rhetorical setup — cancer, disease, violence, and broken self-worth are all named specifically before any answer arrives. That refusal to rush past real suffering is what makes the pivot land: Romans 8's question, "if God be for me, who can be against me," gets repeated as the "still one answer" to a list of problems the song never pretends to resolve individually.
The medley's second half shifts entirely, folding in the old hymn "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus" almost as a change of subject — from big, unanswerable public suffering to the specific, personal claim that only one thing actually cleanses sin.
"I am safe, I am loved, I am healed" moves from first-person singular into "we" by the song's later repetitions, expanding a personal declaration into a corporate one without changing a word of the actual claim. The two songs stitched together make an argument in two parts: God's nearness answers the world's chaos, and Christ's blood answers the singer's own guilt.
What shall we say to these things?
There's still cancer and so much disease
What shall we say to these things?
So much hurting, and broken esteem
So many questions, but still one answer
If God be for me, who can be against me?
If God is with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still His heart adores me
I am safe, I am loved, I am healed
What shall we say to these things?
So much violence, it's getting hard to believe
And what shall we say to these things?
So many people hurting, with broken esteem
So many questions, but still one answer
If God be for me, who can be against me?
If God is with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still His heart adores me
I am safe, I am loved, I am… healed
If God be for me, who can be against me?
If God is with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still His heart adores me
I am safe, I am loved, I am healed…
Now what can wash away my sin? Sing it
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
And what can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
We're singing
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
It was no other fount I know
It was nothing but the blood of Jesus
That I could do no words
That I could say no price
That I could pay
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
We're singing
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
It was no other fount I know
It was nothing but the blood of Jesus
That we could do no words
That we could say no price
That we could pay
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
It was nothing but the blood of Jesus
It was nothing but Your blood, my Jesus
It was nothing but Your blood, my Jesus
If You are for me, who can be against me?
If You are with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still His heart adores me
I am safe, I am loved, I am healed
I am safe, I am loved… I am healed
I am safe, I am loved… I am healed
I am safe, I am loved… I am healed
If You are for me, who can be against me?
If You are with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still Your heart adores me
We are safe, we are loved, we are… healed
Can we sing that? Say, if You are for me
If You are for me, who can be against me?
If You are with me, whom shall I fear?
If no one knows me, still Your heart adores me
Say I am safe
I am safe, I am loved, I am… healed
Say if You are for me
If You are for me, who can be against me?
If You are with me…
