Song Meaning
Two old hymns run together here, starting with a question and its answer: "What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus." Cleansing is the first theme, the flow that makes the singer "white as snow," with "no other fount I know."
The medley then shifts to "power, power, wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb," repeated until it works like a chant. Calvary enters by name in "the blood that Jesus shed for me, way back on Calvary," and from there the focus moves from forgiveness to strength.
The long closing stretch hangs on a spatial image: the blood "reaches to the highest mountain" and "flows to the lowest valley." It soothes doubts, calms fears, and dries tears, giving strength "from day to day" that "will never lose its power." Cleansing becomes daily sustaining. The language echoes 1 John 1:7, Isaiah 1:18, and 1 Peter 1:19, where the blood of the spotless Lamb is named as the price of redemption.

What can wash away my sins?
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
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb
The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
Oh the blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
For it reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
Oh it sooths my doubts
And it calm all your fears
It will dries away all of your tears
Oh the blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose, never lose
Its power
Yes it reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives you strength
From day to day
It will never
It will never
It will never, never lose its power
