Carrie Underwood Shares Her Version Of Hymn “Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus”
Hear Carrie Underwood’s Beautiful Rendition Of A Beloved Hymn Previously Recorded By Randy Travis
Usually, people celebrate others’ birthdays by giving them gifts. But Carrie Underwood gave her fans a gift on her 38th birthday in 2021…her recording of the Christian hymn “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus.”
The hymn was written by Baptist minister and Bucknell University professor Robert Lowry in 1876. It has since been performed by several singers, perhaps most notably by country music legend Randy Travis.
Travis included his version of the hymn on his 2005 album Glory Train: Songs of Faith, Worship, and Praise. This was his fifth gospel album and contained a collection of 19 gospel songs. “Nothing But the Blood” was featured as the sixth track.

Travis has clearly served as an inspiration to Underwood throughout her life. In 2007, she covered his song “I Told You So” for her album Carnival Ride. Travis and Underwood later united to create a duet version of the song released in 2009.
