The Blood
J.J. Hairston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Protects me from all my enemies
No weapon formed shall prosper against me
Because I'm, covered, by, the, blood.
The blood of Jesus is a shield for me;
No matter of evil will triumph over me.
He keeps me safe from all my enemies.
The blood of Jesus, it covers me.
It protects me from sickness and disease.
Even death, death shall have no victory.
Thank God, I'm covered, by, the, blood.
The blood, (It washes away my sin)
The blood, (It covers me deep within)
The blood
(Protects me from this before the Father)
The blood,
(I can't ever live without Him, I thank God)
Thank God (That I am covered)
I'm covered (covered by)
By, the, blood.
The blood, (It will never lose its power)
The blood, (It keeps every hour)
The blood, (Protects from my enemies)
The blood, (Ah-ah)
Thank God (Thank God)
Thank God, I'm covered, by, the, blood.
(The blood of Jesus, it's my only defense)
(The blood of Jesus)
(Jesus)
(The blood of Jesus, it's my only defense)
The lyrics of J.J. Hairston's song The Blood express gratitude for the power and protection of the blood of Jesus Christ. The song affirms the belief that the blood shed by Jesus Christ washes away sin and protects believers from their enemies, sickness, and even death. The repetition of the phrase "covered by the blood" reinforces the sense of security that comes from faith in Jesus Christ.
The song opens with the declaration that the blood shed by Jesus protects the believer from all enemies. This line draws on the biblical passage in Psalm 91:7 which states, "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." The next verse proclaims that the blood is a shield that protects the believer from evil, echoing the apostle Paul's instructions in Ephesians 6:16 to "take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."
