DESCRIPTION:
"Nothing But the Blood Still Saves the Lost" by Heartland Baptist Bible College's Assurance Trio, from their 2009 CD, "God Is Even Greater." I love the lyrics to this song and how 13 hymns are referenced, one right after another. I especially love the part about "the hymnals they used long ago, it seems they've disappeared." How true! So many churches are going to screens and dumping the hymnbooks, and it's a shame. Enjoy this song; see words below.

Some churches seem so different from when I was a child
The songs they sing are not the same as they were before
The hymnals they used long ago it seems they've disappeared
But sometimes I find myself longing just to hear

At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away

Now these new songs talk of heaven
Worship and God's love
But there's nothing sweeter to my ears
Than that fountain filled with blood
I guess I'm just old fashioned
Like those songs of old
But there's times I make it through the day
Holding to this hope

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Near the cross amazing grace
How I love to tell the story
Because He lives Jesus saves
Pass me not draw me nearer
To the old rugged cross
These hymns simply remind us
Nothing but the blood still saves the lost

O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
Draw me nearer nearer blessed Lord
To Thy precious bleeding side

O the blood of Jesus
O the blood of Jesus
O the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood still saves the lost
Nothing but the blood still saves the lost!
