Nothing but the Blood of Jesus
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus uses only two chords through the entire song! (The I and V)
This hymn is crying out for “dress-ups” from the church pianist.
Here’s several ideas I use to dress up the verse of “Nothing but the Blood”.
Notice the melody of the verse contains a lot of repeated notes. A great time to add some spice! 🙂 You can even hold a right chord through repeated notes here and there. You’ll notice I kept the left hand moving during the right hand chords to maintain forward motion/rhythmic drive. The following example can be used for an entire verse if repeated.
