This one is a more modern one written by Andrae Crouch, &#8220;The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I love this song because it nails the message of the Gospel perfectly. Every time I hear it I&#8217;m reminded of what my faith is all about and my hope is immediately reassured that the work that Jesus accomplished on the cross is still valid today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It reaches to the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest valley.
