There's no power in the water
Be it in the mighty Mississippi
Or the Jordan when it floods
There's no power in the water
To take away our sin
The power is in the blood.
God sent John the Baptist
To preach and make a way
For the Savior who would save
The whole world through
John baptized with water
Said one more powerful would come
But there was something
Even John the Baptist knew.
There's no power in the water
Be it in the mighty Mississippi
Or the Jordan when it floods
There's no power in the water
To take away our sin
The power is in the blood.
At the pool of Bethseda
Jesus met a man
With an illness forty years
Could not dispel
He was waiting by the water
to be healed when Jesus said
Take up your bed and walk
You've been made well
There's no power in the water
Be it in the mighty Mississippi
Or the Jordan when it floods
There's no power in the water
To take away our sin
The power is in the blood.
To make us new again
The power is in the blood.
