Hillsong United's rendition of the classic hymn 'Nothing but the Blood' centers on the cleansing power of Jesus' sacrifice. The lyrics affirm that only Christ's blood can wash away sin and restore wholeness, echoing the original hymn's message. The song also includes a contemporary bridge expressing a longing for God's presence, a desire to know His ways, and a surrender to His higher thoughts and purposes. It blends traditional atonement theology with modern worship language, inviting listeners to seek God earnestly and lay down their own understanding in favor of His.

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Come to us, Lord
You reward those who earnestly, diligently seek You
I wanna see Your face, I wanna know Your way
Come to us, Lord
We want You more than this life
More than our way Your way is higher
Your thoughts are higher
We surrender here tonight
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
Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
