Today’s hymn focus will be
The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power
1 John 1:7 (NASB95)
“ but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
Written in 1962, this hymn was almost thrown away. Twins Andre & Sandra Crouch were born to Benjamin and Catherine Crouch in 1942. Raised in the church his father was the pastoring, he was at a cookout at the home of James Cleveland, a renowned gospel musician.
Andre’ remembers wishing he could write a gospel song and while watching the adults pour bbq sauce over the
meat, he began writing down and sing “The blood that Jesus shed for me, way back on Calvary…” But he thought it wasn’t good, so he wadded up the paper and threw it away. But his sister Sandra pulled it back out and told him it was good and he should finish it.
For it reaches to the highest mountain,
and it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose its power.
We need to wake up and recognize the power of the blood of Jesus shed for you and me. Not only does it save us from our sins, but also provides power in our prayer life as we pray for healing and protection.

The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power
The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
