Jesus Culture's 'Nothing But The Blood' is a modern worship song that celebrates the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics describe a personal encounter with God that changes one's identity and washes away shame and sin. The song emphasizes that salvation and holiness are not earned through performance or perfection but are freely given through Jesus' blood. It repeatedly declares that only the blood of Jesus can cleanse, forgive, and make one whole, closing with a direct reference to the classic hymn. The overall message is one of gratitude, grace, and the all-sufficient work of the cross.

Everything changed
It's getting harder to recognize
The person I was before I encountered Christ
I don't walk like I used to
I don't talk like I used to
I've been washed from the inside
I've been washed from the inside out
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
I cannot explain
But nothing's more real than this
In the presence of God
Oh what my heart experienced
When my shame hit the wayside
And my sin met the most high
I've been washed from the inside
I've been washed from the inside out
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
I don't deserve it
I couldn't earn it
So You gave Yourself away
It's never been about performance, perfection
Or striving for acceptance
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
It's never been about deserving or earning
It's a gift that's freely given
Let me tell you
Come on. Let's sing the song
Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
Purified and spotless?
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
Justified, really living?
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
It's all because You love us
It's all because You love us
It's all because You love us
It's never been about performance, perfection
Or striving for acceptance
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
It's never been about deserving or earning
It's a gift that's freely given
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
Purified and spotless?
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
Justified, really living?
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Sing it out
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Just You, Jesus
It's all because You love
It's all because You love
It's all because You love us
It's all because You love us
It's all because You love us
Let us love wash over you tonight
He died for you
He shed His blood for you
He loves you
He loves you
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
