Nothing But the Blood

We love this CD at our house- even our kids- they enjoy dancing and singing to the songs. Music has a way of filling my mind and soul, so I have to watch what goes in!

All the songs on this and other Passion CDs are great, but this song speaks to my heart every time I hear it. The Gospel is powerful. Christ stands in my defense and has washed me clean! I am clean of all sin, guilt, shame. All is gone because of His blood.

Hebrews 10

Nothing But the Blood

Your blood speaks a better word
Than all the empty claims I’ve heard upon this earth
Speaks righteousness for me
And stands in my defense
Jesus it’s Your blood

[Chorus]
What can wash away our sins?
What can make us whole again?
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can wash us pure as snow?
Welcomed as the friends of God
Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood King Jesus

Your cross testifies in grace
Tells of the Father’s heart to make a way for us
Now boldly we approach
Not by earthly confidence
It’s only Your blood

[Chorus]

We thank You for the blood
We thank You for the blood

We praise You for the blood
We praise You for the blood

Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood King Jesus

Anyone out there?

I have wanted to write on the blog for a while, but life has not had time for it. With so much going on the blog is the easiest and less important thing that gets left off my plans. I do enjoy it and am going to try and post more often than twice a year! Hard to believe it has been so long. I enjoy blogging because it helps me to think through things even if no other person reads my thoughts. I think writing can be therapeutic and freeing.

Here are some pictures of things that have been growing this summer.
