New Tradition - Are You Washed In The Blood (1991)

New Tradition is a bluegrass outfit that is firmly rooted in the gospel. The group came together in the early '80s with the intention of remaining a regional phenomenon. However, New Tradition soon found itself playing 200-plus shows a year and moving numerous copies of their albums. Over the years, the group has included: Danny Roberts, a songwriter, mandolin player, and bass vocalist; Richie Dotson on banjo and vocals; Sand Springs, OK, native Jamie Clifton on guitar and tenor singing; Daryl Mosely, a bassist and lead singer (who also pastored at a Southern Baptist Congregation near Nashville for a time and wrote for Ronnie Milsap's publishing company); and late-period member Aaron McDaris, a banjo player who had previously played with the band Second Exit. The group's Christian-infused repertoire consists of gospel, bluegrass, and a cappella quartet singing

This band's music was one of the key factors that saved my life when I got out of treatment and entered the "real" world once again. Been sober for almost 20 years now! Thank you New Tradition!

One of my first exposures to live Bluegrass was this group. I was trying to learn the banjo, and what this guy did just just mystified me.

Let me share a testimony of my spiritual experience when I received a New Birth in my spirit, that has something to do with the message of this song. On the day when I surrendered my life to the Lord Jesus, wherein I acknowledged myself a sinner and humbled myself before Him in prayer with all my heart: confessed, repented and asked forgiveness of all my sins before Him, and that what He endured on the cross is for me and mankind that we may be forgiven, and that His Blood is the only one that can cleanse us from our sins, I felt something unusual happened in me. I sensed within me that something like a water was poured on my head. The cool water flowed down slowly like an oil from my head to my shoulders and my whole body. As the water runs down my body, hands, legs and feet, I felt something coarse like sand or mud that goes down with it until it disappeared at the tip of my fingers and toes. Afterward, I felt so light and refreshed as if I had no weight, and then I was filled with the 'Love and Peace of God'. The Light of the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation ( Ephesians 1:17 ): Then and only then, I realized how filthy is a man before God; he is covered with mud of sin and filthiness of life in this fallen world. He needs the Holy Blood of Christ Jesus that He had shed on the Cross to cleanse him from all sins, filthiness, inequities and unrighteousness. Blessed be THE LORD. Truly, the Word of God is true concerning the filthiness of man because of sin, and the cleansing of it can be done only by the washing of the Holy Blood of the Son of God, which He had poured out on the Cross. My experience clearly defines and confirms the message of the Gospel on the forgiveness of sins in the Name of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus and what He had done on the Cross for our Salvation and in receiving the promised Life Eternal in Heaven. Furthermore, the sin that had entered into this world and man's life is the weight that made man carries a heavy load. But, the Lord Jesus had carried it all the way until His death on the Cross of Calvary. Therefore, those who acknowledged what He had done and received it in their lives as a propitiation of their sin and fallen nature shall He remove this weight from them. He shall replace it with a burden and yoke of following Him and living His Will that is light and easy. This testimony of God in me made me fully understand how to be forgiven of a Gracious and Merciful God as what His Word, the Holy Bible teaches, which I considered a 'great and marvelous' thing. Thank You so much Father, for washing away my sins and cleansing me with the Holy Blood of Your Only Begotten Son, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that He had shed on the Cross of Calvary. Thank You for the "Justification unto Sanctification" that Your Son had done on the Cross for me and mankind. Thank You so much Father. This song made me recall this experience and touched me deeply with gratefulness to the LORD our God and Savior with exceeding gladness every time I listened. Scriptural Lights: Psalm 51:2, 7, 10 | Ezekiel 36:25-27 | John 13:7-10 | Hebrews 10:22 | Psalms 19:12 | Jeremiah 33:8 | Acts 3:19 | Matthew 11:28-30 | Romans 8:29-30 | Ephesians 5:26 | Titus 3:5 | Ephesians 1:7 | Romans 5:8-9 | Romans 3:23 | Romans 10:9-10 | 1 John 1:7-9 | Revelation 7:14 To God be the Glory! God bless and graces to all.

The guitar player in the video, I believe, is named Fred Duggin, not Jamie Clifton. Pretty sure. These guys were great!
