Jordan Smith's rendition of the classic hymn 'Nothing but the Blood' celebrates the cleansing and saving power of Jesus' sacrifice. The song emphasizes that only the blood of Christ can wash away sin, restore wholeness, and secure victory over evil. It also shares a personal testimony of being lost and found, highlighting the blood's power to redeem and bring back those who have strayed. The repeated affirmation 'I know it was the blood' underscores a confident faith in the sufficiency of Christ's atonement.

Hmm
Oh, I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood for me
(It was the blood for me)
I said, I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood for me
Listen to me now
What can wash away my sin
What can make me whole again
What o'er evil
The victory win
You know it ain't nothin' but
Nothin' but the blood
I know it was the blood
I know it was the blood, yeah
I know it was the blood for me
Listen to me now
Would you be whiter, whiter than snow
Would you be washed, washed in the flow
No other fount I know
You know it ain't nothin' but
Nothin' but the blood
I know it was, I know it was
I know it was, I know it was the blood
Listen to me now
When I didn't have a friend
I was lost and so far gone (yes I was)
But the blood came and found me
And it brought me back again
Yes, it did
There's nothin' stronger
No power greater than the blood
If you're wonderin' what saved me
I know that I know, that I know
It was the blood
Listen to me now
What can wash away my sin
What can make me whole again
What o'er evil
The victory win
You know it ain't nothin' but
Nothin' but
