'Twas the blood of Calvary's tree
‘Twas the blood that set me free
'Twas the blood of Calvary's tree
'Twas the blood that rescued me
 O the blood
 The precious blood 
 O the blood of Calvary
 O the blood
 The precious blood
 Bought for you and bought for me
 Bought for all on Calvary

‘Twas the blood that took my sin
‘Twas the blood that cleansed within
‘Twas the blood that took my sin
‘Twas the blood my soul to win
 O the blood
 The precious blood
 O the blood of Calvary
 Oh the blood
 The precious blood
 Bought for you and bought for me
 Bought for all on Calvary

‘Twas the blood my sin did see
‘Twas the blood that paid my fee
‘Twas the blood my sin did see
‘Twas the blood from sin to flee
 O the blood
 The precious blood
 O the blood of Calvary
 Oh the blood
 The precious blood
 Bought for you and bought for me
 Bought for all on Calvary

 What can wash away my sin?
 Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
 What can make me whole again?
 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Having grown up in yester-year’s church, the message of the cross was an integral part of every church service; from the testimonies, the singing and the preaching. And included in this message was the saving power of the blood of Jesus Christ.

So, what is it about the saving blood of Jesus Christ that its critics think is so grotesque in today's environment, and in contrast, causes Christians in every generation to actually celebrate? Basically for the unbeliever, the concept is foolish, but to the Christian it is the power of God. (1 Cor 1:18)

Yes, the blood of Jesus holds a special place in the hearts of believers. For without the shed blood of Christ, there is no forgiveness for sin. (Hebrews 9:22)

So now, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we have the great privilege of pouring our hearts out to God (Psalm 62:8), by casting all our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7) and by praying any time and any place in the power of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:18)
