The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
Can cleanse your deepest sin
Verse 1
You may think you've gone too far
You may think there is no power
That can wash away your deepest sin.
There is hope for you my friend,
Jesus died and rose again,
So that you could know the joy of sins forgiv'n

The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,

Verse 2
You may have some hidden sin
You've tried to cover deep within,
And everybody thinks your life is in control.
You can run but you can't hide
God sees everything inside,
But forgiveness waits at the foot of Calvary's cross.
Chorus
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
Can cleanse your deepest sin
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
Can cleanse your deepest sin
It will never lose it's power,
Oh it will never lose it's power.
The Blood that cleanses every sin
Will never lose it's power.
It will never lose it's power.
Outro
Oh, the Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
The Blood of Jesus,
Can cleanse your deepest sin.
Oh the Blood can cleanse every sin.

Meaning & Inspiration
The Blood Of Jesus declares that the blood of Jesus can cleanse any sin. The refrain repeats the name and the claim that it can cleanse the deepest sin. The first verse speaks to someone who thinks they have gone too far and that nothing can wash away their sin, with the answer that there is hope because Jesus died and rose to bring the joy of forgiveness.
The second verse addresses hidden sin that others do not see, reminds that God sees everything inside, and says forgiveness waits at the foot of Calvary's cross. A later section says the blood will never lose its power. These lines follow 1 John 1:7, Hebrews 9:14, Isaiah 1:18 and Psalm 139:1-4. Direct, pastoral and heavily repeated, the song works as an invitation to receive forgiveness.
