Evie - The Blood Will Never Lose It's Power Lyrics
Lyrics
The blood that Jesus, that He shed for me,
Way back on Calvary,
That 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.
Hmm, that blood that gives me strength,
From day to day,
It'll never lose its power.
It soothes my doubts,
And it calms all my fears,
And it dries all my tears.
That same blood that gives me strength,
From day to day,
It'll never lose its power.
You know, it reaches, to the highest mountain,
And it flows to the lowest valley,
Oh, that blood that gives me strength,
From day to day,
It'll never lose its power.
No, no, no,
It'll never lose its power.

Evie - The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on October 1, 1974, as part of her self-titled album *Evie*, the song "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" stands as a foundational anthem in Christian music, delivered with the clear, unwavering conviction for which Evie Tornquist-Karlsson became renowned. This powerful declaration isn't just a song; it's a profound theological statement set to music, reaffirming one of the core tenets of Christian faith: the eternal efficacy of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The song’s essence originates from a traditional hymn, revitalized and given a fresh voice through Evie, ensuring its vital message continued to resonate with a new generation. It speaks directly to the atoning work of Christ, an event central to biblical narrative, specifically referring to His shedding of blood on Calvary, the hill where He was crucified. This act, described in Romans 5:8-9, declares that "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." The song unpacks this truth, detailing how this ancient sacrifice remains perpetually potent and relevant for every believer today.
The central message of "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" focuses on the ongoing strength and effectiveness derived from Jesus' atoning blood. The lyrics powerfully assert that this blood, shed centuries ago, continues to empower individuals "from day to day." This echoes the New Testament's teaching on the finished work of Christ, which isn't a one-time historical event with fading relevance, but an eternal reality. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever," implying that His redemptive work carries an unchanging power. The song beautifully illustrates the boundless scope of this power, stating that "It reaches to the highest mountain, And it flows to the lowest valley." This imagery vividly portrays the comprehensive nature of Christ's sacrifice, capable of covering the loftiest sin and the deepest despair, extending to every facet of human experience and every corner of the world. It’s a testament to the truth found in 1 John 1:7, which promises that "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." No sin is too great, no struggle too profound for the redemptive power of the cross.
Furthermore, the song deeply resonates with the personal, transformative impact of this divine power, articulating how "It soothes my doubts, And it calms all my fears, And it dries all my tears." This speaks directly to the profound peace and comfort that believers find in Christ, a peace that transcends earthly understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7: "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." The blood of Jesus not only atones for sin but also provides an intimate source of emotional and spiritual healing, ministering to the deepest anxieties and sorrows of the human heart. Revelation 21:4 offers a glimpse of an eternal future where God "will wipe away every tear from their eyes," but the song suggests this comforting work begins in the present through the enduring power of Christ's sacrifice. Evie’s rendition, with its earnest delivery, reinforces this message, leaving no room for doubt about the unwavering promise embedded in the song's title. It serves as a profound encouragement, reminding all who hear that the foundational act of redemption on Calvary remains as vital and life-changing today as it was over two millennia ago, a perpetual source of strength, comfort, and salvation that truly "will never lose its power."
