The precious fountain
From Calvary's mountain
Is flowing down to you and I
It washes us clean
Oh what a mystery
That red blood makes me white
Isn’t it wild
Doesn’t it make you wonder
How something so profound
Could be so simple
The blood the blood the blood
Oh the wonderful blood
Your love Your love Your love
Oh the marvelous love
Let the redeemed sing a song
Praises belong to the Son
The blood the blood the blood
Oh the wonderful blood
My precious Jesus
Oh I’m so thankful
For the day You saved my life
As I remember
My heart grows tender
Tears begin to fill my eyes
Isn’t it wild
Doesn’t it make you wonder
How something so profound
Could be so simple
Isn’t it wild
Doesn’t it make you wonder
How something so divine
Could be so simple
The work You did is finished
All of our sins forgiven
And now we get to live in
The wonder of the working blood
The cross was Your decision
But death was not the ending
You rose and now we’re risen
Oh, the wonder of the working blood
The Wonderful Blood
Song Meaning
Tiffany Hudson builds "The Wonderful Blood" around a single paradox: "that red blood makes me white." The opening verse follows the "precious fountain" flowing from Calvary's mountain, washing the singer clean, and the pre-chorus stops to marvel that something so weighty could be "so simple." The second verse lets that wonder turn personal, with a thankful heart, tears at the memory of the day Jesus saved the singer's life, and a repeat of the pre-chorus that swaps "profound" for "divine."
The chorus is deliberately repetitive: "The blood the blood the blood," paired with "Your love Your love Your love," so that the sacrifice and the love behind it are sung as one thing. It then widens into an invitation for the redeemed to sing, since "praises belong to the Son."
The closing lines make the theology explicit. "The work You did is finished," sins are forgiven, and the cross was Christ's own decision, but "death was not the ending." Because He rose, the singer says, "we're risen." That language echoes Revelation 12:11, 1 John 1:7 on cleansing by Jesus' blood, and Ephesians 1:7 on redemption and forgiveness through it.
