What brought forgiveness to me?
What washed me so completely?
What made me worthy in Your eyes?
What power broke the chains of sin,
And gave me hope again?
What raised my dying soul to life?
It was the blood, it was the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
It was the blood, it was the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
Lord, I was powerless to defend myself before You.
I could not plead my case alone.
When justice called for everything,
What sacrifice could bring,
Freedom for my captive soul?
It was the blood! It was the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
It was the blood! It was the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
Mercy, sweet mercy covers my soul.
Over and over forever will flow.
It was the blood, precious blood,
Nothin’ but the blood of Jesus.
Still the blood, it’s still the blood. It’s still the blood.
It was the blood! It was the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
It was the blood! It’s still the blood,
The blood You shed for me.
