The Blood Is Still the Blood Lyrics

Verse 1: Chandler Moore
I was a leper outside the city
None would come close
But You wouldn't let go
What worked back then
Will work again
I know the blood is still the blood

Verse 2: Chandler Moore
And I had an issue
No one could help
I tried them all
My last try I crawled
And what worked back then
Will work again
I know the blood is still the blood

Chorus: Chandler Moore
Let's sing
And oh, how precious
How beautiful
This priceless love
I've come to know
And in the midst of
My darkest storm
I know the blood is still the blood
It is, it is

Verse 3: Nicole Binion, Nicole Binion & Chandler Moore
I was just like Mary
Labeled by shame
They called my wrong
But You called my name
What worked back then
Will work again
'Cause I know the blood is still the blood
I know the blood is still the blood

The Blood Is Still the Blood Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Ryan Ofei's song "The Blood Is Still the Blood," featuring Chandler Moore and Nicole Binion, is a powerful declaration rooted in the Christian belief in the enduring efficacy of Jesus' sacrifice. Released through Maverick City Music and TRIBL on February 26, 2021, the song centers on the theme that the atonement made by Christ on the cross is not merely a historical event but remains actively relevant and potent for healing, cleansing, and freedom today. It draws upon biblical narratives and personal testimony to affirm the unwavering power of the blood shed for humanity.

The verses establish this theme by recounting specific instances of suffering and restoration found in scripture or common Christian understanding, presented as personal experiences. The first verse speaks from the perspective of a leper, isolated and shunned, highlighting God's willingness to draw near when others would not. The second verse adopts the voice of someone afflicted with a persistent issue, paralleling the biblical account of the woman with the issue of blood who found healing through faith. The third verse references Mary, perhaps alluding to Mary Magdalene, who was freed from societal shame and condemnation by Jesus' acceptance. In each case, the narrative concludes with the resolute affirmation that "What worked back then / Will work again," leading to the core message: "I know the blood is still the blood." This structure effectively grounds the theological concept in relatable examples of historical and personal transformation.

The chorus serves as the emotional heart of the song, focusing on the result of this powerful sacrifice – a "precious," "beautiful," and "priceless love." It emphasizes that this love, accessed through the blood, is a known reality ("I've come to know") and provides solace and assurance even "in the midst of / My darkest storm." The repetition reinforces the certainty of this truth, highlighting the comfort and stability found in the understanding that the blood's power is constant and reliable, regardless of present circumstances.

The interludes and bridge further expand on the practical implications of the blood's power. The interludes emphasize the active, present-day work of the blood: "Still works, it works," "It still heals, it heals," "It still cleanses," and crucially, "It's still flowing from Calvary's hill." This counters any notion that the power was limited to a specific time or place. The bridge provides vivid imagery of what the blood accomplishes. Phrases like "It washes white as snow" speak to purification and forgiveness, cleansing sin completely. "The blood can make me whole" refers to spiritual and emotional restoration and completeness. "It paid the debt I owe" highlights the concept of substitutionary atonement – that Christ's sacrifice satisfied the divine requirement for sin, freeing believers from its penalty. This section, often led with strong conviction, reinforces the finished work of the cross and its ongoing benefits.

The spontaneous section adds a dynamic, communal dimension, emphasizing the continuous nature of the blood's work in the believer's life. Phrases like "It's still washing me," and "It's still cleansing me" clarify that the cleansing power is not a one-time event at salvation but an ongoing process. The powerful declaration "It didn't stop the day I got saved / But right now it's still washing me" underscores the daily need for grace and purification. This section also deeply engages with the theme of substitution: "He took my place, should've been me." This reflects the core gospel message that Jesus bore the punishment for human sin, a profound expression of love and sacrifice that continues to resonate with personal impact. The song concludes by returning to the foundational declaration in the outro, firmly reiterating that the knowledge and belief in the blood's enduring power are the song's central and unwavering message.
