Hebrews 9:13-14 · “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power” · Andraé Crouch and the Disciples

NOT A QUOTE “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power” Andraé Crouch and the Disciples Hebrews 9:13-14 Sing it. Nothing here is quoting, and what the title says is Hebrews 9's own conclusion. Read the chapter alongside it for the reason the song has no room for: offered once, and once was enough.

✓ What the title says is the conclusion Hebrews 9 argues for: verse 12 calls the redemption eternal, obtained once for all, and 10:14 says one offering perfected for all time

⚠ The verses printed beside this hymn are editors' choices, not the songwriter's, and across the hymnals they do not agree with each other

Hebrews 9:22 · “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus” · Carrie Underwood

NOT A QUOTE “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus” Carrie Underwood Hebrews 9:22 Sing it. Nothing in it is quoting. The question-and-answer refrain compresses Hebrews 9 and 10 in the direction the chapters themselves run, from the law's rule about blood to the blood of Jesus alone.

✓ The 1876 publication printed its source text underneath the title, Hebrews 9:22, which is the citation habit this site exists to encourage

⚠ The blood in Hebrews 9:22 is the law's animal blood. The step to Jesus' blood alone is the argument of the surrounding chapters, not of the verse under the title
