Thank You Jesus For The Blood
by Charity Gayle
Theology & Meaning
Centers on atonement and redemption. Clearly acknowledges that our sinful state left us separated and in darkness, and only by Jesus' shed blood have we been forgiven and brought near to God. By thanking Jesus for 'the blood applied,' the lyrics personalize the cross.
Worship Leadership Tips
Often used during communion or Good Friday, this song's reflective nature helps the congregation dwell on Jesus' sacrifice. Start with only piano or a single guitar to set a contemplative mood.
Arrangement Tips
Consider dropping instruments on one chorus and letting voices declare 'Thank You, Jesus' unaccompanied. If you have strong vocal harmonies or a choir, their support on the bridge can add richness.
