About this Hymn
Leviticus 17:11 tells us, "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls." Jesus would become the final, permanent atonement for us (1 Pet. 1:18–19; Heb. 10:10), and because of that sacrifice we have victory over death and evil (Heb. 2:14; Rev. 12:11).
Lyrics
Verse 1
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
would you o'er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Chorus
There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r
in the blood of the Lamb;
there is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r
in the precious blood of the Lamb.
Verse 2
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide;
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Verse 3
Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow;
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Verse 4
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
would you live daily his praises to sing?
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
would you o'er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Chorus
There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r
in the blood of the Lamb;
there is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r
in the precious blood of the Lamb.
Verse 2
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide;
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Verse 3
Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow;
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
Verse 4
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood;
would you live daily his praises to sing?
There's wonderful pow'r in the blood.
