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.
