Legacy Five - Still Trusting In The Blood Lyrics
Lyrics
As I journey on to Glory I have peace in my soul
My sin are gone
I've been washed in Calvary's fountain and I'm nearing the goal
Still white as snow
I'm still trusting in the blood
That cleanses from every sin
There's a freedom deep within I can't explain
I'm still trusting in the One
Who bled and died on the cross
Who alone is worthy of my highest praise
I'm not trusting in my actions of compassion
On the days when I obey
I'm still trusting in His mercy when He heard me
On the day I knelt and prayed
Not the goodness I have done
I'm still trusting in the blood
It's the pure life-changing crimson flowing down from the cross
That makes me clean
And the longer that I ponder on how lost I once was
Means more to me
I'm still trusting in the blood
That cleanses from every sin
There's a freedom deep within I can't explain
I'm still trusting in the One
Who bled and died on the cross
Who alone is worthy of my highest praise
I'm not trusting in my actions of compassion
On the days when I obey
I'm still trusting in His mercy when He heard me
On the day I knelt and prayed
Not the goodness I have done
I'm still trusting in the blood
I'm still trusting in the blood
That cleanses from every sin
There's a freedom deep within I can't explain
I'm still trusting in the One
Who bled and died on the cross
Who alone is worthy of my highest praise
I'm not trusting in my actions of compassion
On the days when I obey
I'm still trusting in His mercy when He heard me
On the day I knelt and prayed
Not the goodness I have done
I'm still trusting in the blood
Not trusting in my actions of compassion
On the days when I obey
I'm still trusting in His mercy when He heard me
On the day I knelt and prayed
Not the goodness I have done
I'm still trusting in the blood
Not the goodness I have done
I'm still trusting in the blood

Still Trusting in the Blood by Julius & Group
Meaning & Inspiration
"Still Trusting In The Blood" by Legacy Five, released in 2014, stands as a profound declaration of faith centered on the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The song articulates a deeply held conviction that true peace and cleansing come not from personal merit or good works, but solely from the blood shed on the cross. The narrative unfolds with a journeyer expressing an unwavering assurance of salvation and a soul at peace, having been "washed in Calvary's fountain." This imagery immediately evokes the biblical accounts of redemption, particularly the cleansing power of Christ’s sacrifice as described in Hebrews 9:14: "how much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may worship the living God?" The repeated affirmation, "I'm still trusting in the blood," serves as the song's unwavering thesis. It’s a deliberate turning away from self-reliance, a stance echoed in passages like Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." The lyrics clearly delineate this theological boundary, stating, "I'm not trusting in my actions of compassion" and "Not the goodness I have done." This emphasis on grace over works is a cornerstone of Christian theology, highlighting the insufficiency of human effort to achieve righteousness and the absolute sufficiency of Christ's finished work. The song further explores the "freedom deep within I can't explain," a sentiment that resonates with the liberation experienced by believers through forgiveness of sins. This inexpressible joy and peace are fruits of a right relationship with God, made possible through the atonement. The lyrics’ contemplation of how "lost I once was" and how that memory "means more to me" underscores the profound gratitude and deepened appreciation for salvation that comes with understanding the depth of one's former state apart from Christ. This perspective aligns with the Apostle Paul's reflection in 1 Corinthians 15:10: "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain." Ultimately, "Still Trusting In The Blood" is a powerful musical testament to the unassailable efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, reminding listeners that enduring peace, ultimate cleansing, and true worship stem not from personal achievement, but from an abiding trust in the blood that uniquely offers redemption and eternal praise to the One who paid the ultimate price.
